Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[NephilimCanis]

When me and my FC was doing T5 2 weeks ago I was totally surprised as someone told me that we can't do it with my low dps output. (but did it anyway)
I always thought that my damage is great and I couldn't understand it.
I learned the RR and we went in a week later. My dps has increased but I`m still weak even though I follow the whole rotation/eat food before fight/ use dps potions when CD is off and I even got (almost) my whole sol gear.
I qoute one of the tanks "great. your damage got better, you're doing slightly more damage than me"
If that's the case, the whole purpose of drg's as dps is for nothing when I'm doing "slightly more damage" than a Pala.
I can't do anything more than that and I'm about to ditch my beloved Dragoon because I don't know that I can do better anymore....
I don't want to be weak but in this case, its not me thats weak but only the DRG.

Any suggestions on that? :/
