But when you throw Contagion against the full rotation the balance tips in favour of Garuda.

Good garuda over good Obey Ifrit is about ~1.3-1.4%ish. Good garuda over yolo Sicfrit is more like ~2.6-2.7%ish when you account for clipping etc.

That's for personal dps before you look at raid dps and buff synergy windows, which will depend on comp for total value. Before with Radiant having damage reflects it tipped the total package in favour of Ifrit in physical comps. The removal of that tipped it to Garuda in effectively all situations when looking at good play.

but you get more procs with Ifrit.., is obey Garuda really worth the hassle?
