Fine-Tuning PLD rotation - tips?

[Mirateski]

Would you be open to experiment?

Always, but I think my healers would spontaneously combust if I tried it, lmao.

I'm now solidly topping 950+ dps in full shield oath, but when I try to switch to sword oath, I keep dying. I'm not 100% sure why? I start out with rampart, then use bulwark after the scrap bomb, use sheltron for every scrapline except fmf (where I use hallowed), then I use foresight for the second add set into sentinel then back into rampart, and basically rotate as they come up. Awareness I pop right at the start, conva I pop as it seems necessary. Sometimes I get crit like five times in a row which just seems silly?

I mentioned this to my group and they told me that clearing was more important than dpsing, which is of course true, but I feel quite stagnant. We're seeing a lot of phases and I want to help as much as I can.

As for telling dps to do anything, they already get a bit annoyed that I keep getting on at the blm about quelling, I can't see asking them to do SSS going down well. I was recruited to the static by someone the original 6 recruited so I'm a step removed from the rest of them, who are all friends, and it seems a bit rude to come in and be all demanding about stuff, haha.

Edit to add: I'm pretty sure we're all above 255. I'd hope so, considering! I'm at 260 bang on, and my MCH is at 255 with only like half the shire set, so...

Second edit: I'm opening with one halone combo to ensure hate from blm and mnk (I lose it otherwise), then go FB > spirits > RB > FoF > goring > CoS > FB > rampart > SB > bloodbath and into the 2xRA, 1xGB rotation, popping offglobals as they come up and keeping an eye on my cooldowns as much as poss. I wanted to try and drop DV on the party for acid rain but I'm not sure if that helps or hinders really. Especially when I swing around to fmf after scrapline they all get nervous, so I've just taken to hanging out over W and stoneskinning myself for shits and giggles.
