I was fortunate to have a few people join me in testing my BRD with Minuet, without Minuet, and doing both; we chose Ramuh Ex. Group was PLD, BRD, BLM, SMN, WHM, AST, MNK, DRG.

WITH:
I bounced between 6th and 7th on the hate list, never dropping Minuet.

WITHOUT:
I bounced between 5th and 6th on hate list, never using Minuet.

WITH and WITHOUT (meaning I dropped it for certain skills like Windbite and Venomous Bite):
I bounced between 4th and 5th on hate list.

Just an FYI, the totals aren't relevant until 60. At 53 it will likely be a dps loss, at end game it is most certainly a net gain. I wouldn't pass judgment against it until you get the rest of your abilities.
