It's not just disembowel. The majority of our damage comes from our song procs which is heavily crit based RNG. Chain strategem plus litany snap shotted for 45 seconds is an incredible boost for bards (pitch perfect and blood letter spam) on top of the natural damage gains that classes get from having higher crit. Dragoon bard synergy is probably just as strong if not stronger than in 3.0 even with the nerf to disembowel. At least from the bards standpoint. The personal dps contribution of DRG overall is still a relevant point of argument though. The best thing for the discussion would be for me to sit on a dummy with our SAM for a while and then with our DRG to see exactly what gains I receive over an allotted amount of time.
