With PLD and GNB the idea is that it just boosts the damage on your main rotation, where as with DRK and WAR the damage buff comes from completely switching to a different engine. Technically, they'd have to move warrior to something more like what Dark Knight has with the Quietus, where the move just has more potency and they get to spam it. But if they did that I think it would take away the feeling of doing big damage for that one stretch, since DRK doesn't really give that feeling during Quietus spam. That's also why I don't really like the Quietus phase of DRK because it's just an aesthetically different primary rotation for a few seconds.
