There is no reason why an rDPS job shouldn’t be first in rDPS, the selfish jobs don’t always have to be first
Picto is also the job with most variance in the game. It's the job with the biggest falloff between burst and filler, so if you crit everything in your burst (with multiple 1k+ potency gcds and ogcds) you're literally gonna do like 10+% more damage at the end of the fight than if you don't.
It's a 20k VS 23k ndps difference. Using the top parse is always iffy, but it's especially iffy in Picto, that's the kind of run you see once in 200 kills.
