Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Dunncan]

(...)I only ask because in my experience there are many ways to prop up DPS numbers (duration of the fight, fudging mechanics in certain ways, etc.). Total damage and total uptime are usually what I care about.

This. People like to see their DPS numbers and the competition is exciting because you can manipulate that numbers with all the tricks you exposed and more. That's the fun.

But, when I want to see efficiency, who's a good or a bad player or where my group is wrong, I definitely will go for Damage Done (or Dmg%) insted of DPS.
