Has Anyone Tryed 17/0/54 with the 2p T10 2pT9 without reapin>?

[Orcasim]

Last night on fester I was playing around with gear and specs.
First I used my 2p T10 and 2p T9 with the spec 14/0/57..... And it seem my dps droped by like 700ish
Then for shits and giggles I tryed 2p T10 and 2p T9 with the spec 17/0/54 without reaping.
My dps actually went up breaking 10k then ofcourse droping to around 9ish.

Wanna hear peoples thoughs on keeping the spec 17/0/54 spec with out reaping with 2p T10 & 2p T9

Reaping is a DPS gain with 2t10. It's just.. the truth. You can't take your DPS on one fight, only a few attempts, and say conclusively that one spec is better than another. Mathematically, Reaping + 2t10 > no Reaping + 2t10.

At the 258-264 gear level 2t10 isn't worth it without reaping.

Even with reaping 2t10 is worse than 4t9 and only used because the stats on t10 make up the difference, without reaping the dps gain from 2t10 is 25% worse so it absolutely isn't worth it.
