W-wait.. what? How can Transpose > Fire III > Flare ever be better than Transpose > Flare > Flare in an AoE environment. You have completely lost me there.

A BLM friend was using the flare only rotation, he got another friend (healer) to parse while we did a few Bray, both as BLM and equipped the same i90 gears and weap.

Apparently his dps was at least 100 less for the full duration of the DG.
That's basically impossible unless he messed up the Flare only rotation - which is not uncommon. I am also assuming these weren't dungeon instance-length parses, but rather parses of individual packs of AoE burns.
