    Factoring out buffs and estimating a crit multiplier of about 1.5 for sake of example.

    - Life Surge always held for Full Thrust: crit to a 440p weaponskill once every ~55 seconds, approximately 220/55=4 pps gain over never critting (but you do crit, so, less than that). In event of a single mistake, can be reduced to 2/3 of that (2.67). Two mistakes, 1/2 that (2).
    - Life Surge on Full Thrust or the 390: I don't know how this syncs up tbh; in one situation, on the 5th step after a Full Thrust, you would need a very fast GCD for this not to self-correct back to Full Thrust within 2 or 4 rotations. You can still see 195/52 = 3.75 which is better than 2.67.
    - Using it just wherever: Average GCD is (180+190+230+270+290+390+150+240+440+290+390)/11=278.18. So, 139.09/50 = 2.78 pps, which is slightly better than holding out for Full Thrust.

    Life Surge is a somewhat small portion of overall DPS. It's not nothing, but it's close to being just a feelgood move.
