Can i ask what encounter this is? Dummy? And how long parse is this?

SSS, divided completion time by mob HP. Obviously these numbers are off a bit since they don't include raid DPS gains but they're a decent eyeball until we have better tools.

The timer is really important because the way how aetherflow works. Most summoners damage is tied aetherflow. You can use two aetherflows first minute and only one remaining minutes. You can easily keep 4k + dps first 3min, but after you do like 5-10min parses dps will stay around 3700-3800 in my experience and I have ilvl 314 myself as well.

I guess the question is then, how is that compared to the other dps on the field?

Lacking. Especially when classes like Black Mage get's enochian and foul every 30 seconds. Foul is a 650 potency move that can be used twice per minute. Samurai can use it's 720 potency move roughly every 20 seconds. Red Mage can use a 420 Potency move every 25 seconds for free.

Summoner gets death flare - 400 potency every minute and ahk morn 680 potency is locked behind a two minute window requiring two stacks of aetherflow to use.

I dont really understand your question, but aetherflow works like that you can activate aetherflow before combat and wait 1min before pull that allow you use two aetherflows in the opener and summoner damage become extremely high in the first minutes. Is there any other class that get so much benefit from activating cooldowns 1min before combat start? Thats why you can see misleading numbers if the encounter is under 5min. 10min parse would be most accurate because majority of savage content take around 10min once content is in progress and relevant.
