They both share a recast, so it's down to the content/role you're running, but in a straight comparison, Dynamics is doing more dps that Destruction on 2+ enemies. It's an AoE with no fall-off, and you don't get that many of those. Not really seeing how 30 extra potency really changes anything here.
So my thinking is more in terms of the fact that the majority of content involves single target, it’s pretty much non-existent that we get purely AoE content and in most situations the single target dps is going to be more important.

As it is, ruby dynamics is fighting with rose of destruction for a spell slot and most of the time you’ll rather have the single target dps increase. In single target ruby dynamics is the same strength as a filler spell so it loses any value. If it had slightly higher potency it would still be a viable move in single target, if not as viable as rose of destruction, while being a great option for AoE. So if you were to fight a boss that spawns adds for example you’d have a move that can be both good for clearing the adds AND still be good when there aren’t adds. While rose of destruction would still be better for purely single targets. As it currently is, it’s ONLY useful for AoE so for the boss with adds example it’s only good for the adds and for the rest of the fight it’s worthless.
