In order for this to even happen, your party would need expanded Balance on the entire fight (100% uptime) with a base party DPS of 10,000. This is impossible to do because AST has this thing called Cooldowns.

10,000 * 0.05(or 5%) = 500 btw. Expanded balance, which is your biggest increase in raid damage only lasts 15 seconds. Draw is every 30 seconds. You have a 5.6% chance to land your expanded royal road Balance combo within that minute you're waiting. Your friend just straight up lied to you.
