My biggest gripe with my personal damage is that the 50% chance to pop X or Y seems to usually behave as a very LOW 50%. Not having those procs, and the times when Espirit seems to go on vacation, really hurts. Slows things down A LOT, too.

Other than that, I think too much personal dps is locked behind standard step... which means ANY sort of delay in executing it is probably going to be a massive overall loss. Given mechanics and such, it is probably easy to let it slip off of cooldown for a few seconds. I wouldn't be sad to see something worked out with all the proc %'s to enable more Espirit and Fan Dances.
