At which point you are outdamaging the DRG, so you're right on that point but you can't condense it like in your example.

Otherwise, I agree with you. From what I know, DRGs are a close second in difficulty. SMN is medium skill at best, I don't think they're above DRGs but they are above BRDs and BLMs.
I agree with you there, i just chose this specific rotation for comparisons sake. Although i do like to start with ToD/PH sometimes, while the tank is still busy with positioning.
