while i agree 4 min is nice, doesnt it kinda defeat the purpose of checking your dps if you intentionally lower your dps?
personally i always end my parses the moment i can no longer have the TP for another skill (which makes my blm parses get out of hand at times, lol)

IR and BfB have a 4m cycle. Going for super high scores is one thing (stack crit, keep trying until lucky, stop timer after major buff ends, gg), but if you're trying to tune average performance, you should be testing as close as you can to average. That means getting average use out of buffs and going as long as is reasonable. That way you have as good a basis as possible for comparing like to like.

This is even after adjusting my rotation later to cut out ToD (which Tyrith Peng also spams still).

MCH's Blue Garter use a lot Promotion his Rook Autoturret (TP regen).

A lot of tp, almost plays so much it makes me think he is playing it just for the mnk, which is very selfish of your mnk(especially if there is no purfications used) or a really dumb mch.

Or just yet another let's push one of our group at a time for the FFlogs.

something tells me thats not the case, tyreth was one of the first full i210 in the world, and to make it even better he was in BiS at the same time.
with someone that far ahead, they could have simply thought sacrificing a little dps from the mch would have been better overall, of course i doubt it would have been, but idk how much gear the mch got.

while im not saying it doesn't have its merits, your group does still buff your damage by allowing you to avoid most of the mechanics of the fight from what i can tell of fflogs, for example you don't fight the adds that spawn outside of quarantine, and you have no extra responsibilities such as stunning the legs for perpetual ray.
i could probably speculate further and say your group handles the lazers for you so you almost never have to move for them, or that the mch is in fact playing TP solely for you, and theres probably a few other things that could be done as well, but in the end it doesn't really matter.

anyway, my point is while you may not intentionally be trying as a group to buff your dps, the fact of the matter is it is still happening on a partial scale, and other monks that are feeling discouraged by not being able to match the dps should keep this in mind.
