The only time you really want to push for DPS is during first add phase, archers phase, and after last add phase.

My raid encounters huge downtimes waiting for voice or shriek to phase properly cause everyone is a DPS chaser, call it DPS pride or smth.

U need to push your DPS to make sure you are able to down each of the three adds comfortably before the next one spawns for the first add phase.
To clear archers ASAP, each archer down reduces the damage taken by party member marked, great service to the healers imho.
Last add is a straight LB3 instagib or LB2 to 30%. If your tank is not able to hold the spot properly for you to LB, wait for the first petrification from the add, then LB, so that you don't get caught casting LB during petrification which can result in the LB missing totally.
After the last add, it's just dealing with voice shriek tail petri, which is a phase where you should be maximising damage to clear.

You're on the right track as far as DPS goes. You'll notice not many people mention T7 as DPS comparison due to a lot of random waiting for mechanics to happen in order to phase properly.
