Say a 10 minute fight if you had to raise two people. That's say 30 Aetherflow stacks and it takes close to 3 Energy Drains (266 MP) to recover from each Raise cast. So 6 Energy Drains, which leaves 24 for Fester. This totals out to be a 5 DPS loss over the course of the fight. (3000 Damage)

SMN DPS Breakdown (not including AA for overall %)
@ i110 using Fester alone is close to 50 DPS (11.6%)
Garuda is around 110 DPS (25%)
Ruin is around 80 DPS (18.6)
DoT's is around 190 DPS (including Shadow Flare) (44.2%)
AA is around 25 DPS with Ruin II Spam

Total 455 DPS (430 without AA)

Obviously this changes in multi-mob non-AOE situations where you are casting dots instead of Ruins.

But this would further push your DOT %
2 Mobs -> 48 DPS Ruin -> Around 300 DPS (Dots only)
3 Mobs -> 32 DPS Ruin -> Around 410 DPS (Dots only)

SMN AOE Potential
5 GCD = 150 Potency per 3s per 4 mobs (125 Potency per GCD equivalent)
Blizzard II 50 Potency per GCD

Total 175 Potency Per GCD (550 Damage) per mob 900 DPS - Not extremely terrible.
