I'm a MT. Yes I stance dance when appropriate. Why are you comparing a PLD to a MNK? Yes, DPS is important. Pushing 4 Bennu is important, pushing 4 Flattens helps a ton.

I measure tanks by DPS because what else is there for a tank to do? Rotate CDs, execute mechanics and DPS.

Going from 100 dps to 200 dps is 60-78k damage per turn. Every 10 DPS is cutting 3 seconds off of a FCoB kill, so yes every member contributing an extra 10+ is important. There is a reason why SCH DPS is so important to fights like 12 and 13, same is true of good tanks stance dancing as much as possible and stacking STR/DET as much as possible. Parrying another Auto Attack is not saving the raid, skipping a boss action or pushing a phase can make a world of difference.

Fair enough but you seem to be missing the point. One does not go from 100 dps to 200 dps with 20/30 or 40 CRIT or DET. The actual amount of dps increase from that tiny bit of CRIT or DET is insignificant. That is the whole point.

One goes from 100 to 200 with strength accessories. Not from c tier stats like crit or det.
