How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Viridiana]

does crits multiplicative (critdmg and crit%) self-scaling ever make it *the* stat to get?

I was actually looking at Crit potency scaling earlier today, and worked out numbers for unbuffed and IR buffed. N is the output potency, y is the input potency, x is the crit from gear (so crit-354):

N=y*(.000000054083224164x^2+.000200400589023914x+1.0222056254851818) if completely unbuffed.
N=y*(.000000054083224164x^2+.000140056389350814x+1.0670520504151738) if buffed with Internal Release (non MNK).
N=y*(.000000054083224164x^2+.000128384489339814x+1.0894757204151818) if buffed with Battle Litany.

I'll work out the numbers for, IR+BL, MNK-IR, and MNK-IR+BL in a bit. . .and then remember that Straight Shot is a thing. >_<
