Hey; long time no see. I still main a tank job (WAR, in this case), but I play all classes/jobs.

On topic, I would like to add that hardcasting a Flare can be useful in a burst scenario (i.e. to fit as much damage into a single Astral phase as possible), but I don't think there's any single target scenario where it equates to more sustained DPS (on average).
