Well the reason it tends to beat BLM in most of the higher level instances has everything to do with the amount of movement required.

In the Lakshimi fight the BLM was able to start really strong with their opener, but as the fight progressed and the movement and mechanics became too much to overcome, so I was able to beat them by a significant amount.

This also happened in Sirensong due to a lot of the Boss Mechanics making it nearly impossible for them to sustain any kind of real damage.

Samurai... well they have been pretty consistenly for the most part a good 600 DPS below me. The one that was able to beat me only did by a very small amount. I am still not sure whether that was due to player skill or not, but so far that's the way its shaken out.

The stronger the mechanics, the more the RDM comes out on top.
