Summoner needs a quick fix too

That mentality has lead to crappy DPS? No. Hardly. After doing massive and extensive testing with my Monk, the damage differences are literally 1-3 DPS at most, and based on RNG.

On your Monk. SMN is not your Monk. Your main stat is more important on other classes PARTICULARLY MNK, DRG, BLM.

SMN is a different ball game and DET has a huge effect on the damage. In general, most of the "upgrades" in this gear season, are all actually nerfs to SMNs sans for probably 2-3 gears which are essentially direct upgrades with similar stats from previous available gear. It's truly a case of how can you progress while not killing your damage.
