Not to mention other weights won't be valid for long, because DET has a value based on each ability used.

Not to mention it's also been said that DET has either no, or very very low scaling for any DoTs(or the DoT portion of skills).

One of those posts said a SMN tested gains of only +1 per tick by adding 30 DET. With the damage I do that'd be slightly more than 1% more damage, which is similar to (actually slightly greater than) the gains from adding the same amount of CRIT points (+0.98%) according to Valk's calculator. The gains in both cases are slight, and personally I feel DET is undervalued by most people.
