What dps optimization? There are no raid buffs in 8.0, you don't even have FoF, presumably pots are still there and you might want to squeeze 3 counters into one, but since there are no raid buffs and your burst is on a gauge you can move the pot timing wherever you want. The only optimization in any meaningful sense here is not overcapping the gauge, something you do already today, and timing your blocks correctly, which is the opposite of tension.
