I still haven't figured out how to run a speed run as pld. I tried once, but I could only survive that first pull half the time. Either I'd run out of mp from flashing, or I'd lose hate by trying to conserve mp for flash.
Depends on your weapon (when it comes to losing hate). If the iLVL's not high enough compared to your DPS's weapons, the wDMG calculation screws you over because Flash's about the only real expotential scaling one and it's a fairly terrible skill until you're in about a 90~.
Flash X3, Fast, Flash, Riot, Flash, Fast, Flash, Riot, Flash, and from there you're pretty much stuck to a Riot Combo and then another Flash.
If you're losing hate on one mob, let it go because trash in high level dungeons don't really do that much damage. If you're losing multiple mobs your weapon (and STR/DTR stats) probably aren't high enough for huge pulls against superior geared DPS (or your BLM needs to use Quelling Strikes if laying into the pack right off the bat). If you're dying due to healer derpiness, you need a new one because they can't keep up. If you're dying to packs just taking too long and you and the healer are running out of mitigation abilities, DPS needs to pick it up.
AoE's pretty much reliant on everyone doing their part.
