Theoretically hagakure is always a dps increase.
If you look at the potency per kenki,
Shinten = 300/25 = 12pot/kenki.
Midare+Kaiten = 1080/80 = 13.5 kenki.
But shinten is an oGCD, so it's a bit more complex than that.

For argument's sake, let's replace the slot that you use for midare with hakaze, which is the best case scenario for using midare.
Then, you're actually looking more at
Midare + kaiten = (1080-150) / 80 = 11.625 pot/kenki.
This is outside of the fact that hakaze (and other gcds) also generate kenki. In this example, you're actually losing 5 kenki from hakaze, not to mention you're 1 gcd slower to the next combo everytime you use midare.

Of course this is only valid if can make use of all those kenkis generated from hagakure and are not above 40 kenki.
