Dear Dragoons. Your AoE is actually good.

Isnt Geirskogul used as an aoe skill (it hits in a cone in front of you)?? Why is that not factored?

You could max use it once or do your single traget rotation to keep Dragon's Blood(?) up

@whiskeybravo You should be over 30% before running out of TP or you done something wrong And think about it, if you got 6 Enemys and they all drop to lets say 50% - you should reach that with blood for blood etc. you basically did based on the enemy number 50% on every enemy. Somnetimes thats more worth than killing of one. Or sometimes it isnt. If your other DD does 50% aoe too, then all should be down

You are talking about a bunch of hypotheticals that don't match what I've experienced in dungeons with dragoon. Dragoon aoe is good for about 30 sec and then you're spent. Single target rotation is not that far behind, depending on the pull, and can be sustained twice as long.

I'm not trying to argue that you're wrong or anything, I mean the numbers speak for themselves, DS spam is more potency than a single target rotation, sure. You just can't sustain this on back to back pulls, and can hardly sustain it on one pull. It should be considered for burst when you have all buffs up on a bigger pull. In my experience it just doesn't put a big enough dent in their HP to justify aoe on every pull. And as you pointed out, you need a good tank that can position things properly and you need another decent dps to contribute. If the other dps isn't all there you're just going to be out of tp waiting forever for things to die.

It's 60 TP every 3 seconds, not after every skill. Over the course of 30 seconds, going all out with AoE, you'd go through 1660 TP, which is 60 higher than you'd get back from natural TP regeneration.

Should still be AoEing, but going balls to the wall AoE every pull isn't a good idea or efficient. More TP conservative AoE is better than spending a decent time during a pull auto-attacking.
