@Exolithus:
I'm not ignoring the pet, I've added it up a few dozen times so far :P. The SCH DPS is on par with the SMN (not the SMN + pet).
I agree on SMN + PET vs SCH that SMN wins (by a margin to me, but still wins).

That's kinda the point... The rotations are identical except a few extra GCDs. Ruin II was brought because we require an insta on the GCD (to comp aero). And the festers are already being consumed (in turn with the ED) thus we use ruin II.

Lets jump over to ACN. I think we've beaten the SCH thing into the ground enough for one day .
ACN maintains nearly the same skills (including contagion and all cross class like RS) so the reoccurring contagion/RS argument becomes invalid.
They have an equiv DPS pet with only -10 on the damage, have access to 10 cross class including 2 additional really good buffs (IR+B4B) and an extra dot (that contagion works with) 'Aero'.
All for sacrificing Fester, Spur (still have rouse), and enkindle.

Tmw imam break down the benefits of spur, maybe that puts smn over acn
