Or perhaps some just have not tried Sephiroth yet? Not sure why you are giving OP such a hard time, lol
Myself i am a week behind on getting the lore weapon as i spent lore on a extra piece of gear and did not feel like running Midas one week :/
As far as your dps Op, seems good i would think. I do not Monk but play blm and Nin mostly so could not say for sure.
ThordanEX is also good to practice if you have not cleared it, even if it's "old" content
