High DPS: What's the point?

[StubHub]

In so many fights you are flat out punished for big DPS. T5 can push through conflags to quickly, resulting in fireball on people. Ifrit EX push him fast enough and he enrages and kills you. Same with Leviathan. Turn 7, DPS fast enough and timings go wacko resulting in screwed up Renauds / Voice timing. I'm sure there are other instances to but I'm not thinking of them at the moment.

I don't care for the DPS restrictions on your Ifrit/Leviathan examples and agree with you entirely there. However, your T5/7 examples are not the same in my opinion. If you're killing conflags before Twin uses fireball, that just means your group should be spending an extra GCD or two on Twin before popping the conflag instead. And for T7 it's not directly a punishment for high DPS. You can get bad timings just as easily with poor DPS as you can with high.

I get what you mean just saying like random stuff I could think of. Yeah Turn 7 low DPS can provide the same problems, what I'm getting at is more of the people who can destroy the fights getting like double petrifaction and not getting a voice stuff like that.
