This is hilarious. All it takes to advocate for essences is to be someone who is actually usually contributing more than auto-attacks in DR and has some idea of what a fairly normal length of a DR run can be, let alone speed run. If I'm on my AST and I'm up to to multiple devotions on the first boss (for example) - there's a serious problem.

The longer that a DR drags on, the more chances that people will die to mechanics, not to mention, most people generally don't want to be in a 45 minute run. Increasingly, if there are DPS that won't use lost actions, if I see a WHM, I would hope that they would use profane - they'll get my cards and my thanks - unless hopefully any of those DPS having proofs of mettle.
