Average BLM DPS T8?

[nugglets]

1) If you have to cancel a cast running Spellspeed, you WILL have to cancel for Crit/Det. This means that any bonus that was achieved by spellspeed is still achieved because you are still ahead.

2) When you do cancel, you have a longer time recasting with crit/det compared to spellspeed. Another instant advantage.

SSPD builds, make up for lower damage per cast(DPC) by getting in more casts. You can plainly see this when comparing the BiS sets on the spreadsheet. The DPC of the first Laeveteinn set is 1017 and the second is 994, yet the DPS values are 429.3 and 429.0.

Both of these points are completely inaccurate.
