This issue existed for PLD in heavensward where Fight or Flight was your biggest damage "burst", but it couldn't save your average low potency. And you personally were arguing with me about this particular point when my argument was PLD's DPS was "fine" and its issues lied in everything else that further caused the low DPS.
