Wouldn't "FB > Ada > FB > FB >Ada >FB > FB >Ada" Be Superior Ada stuns, and hits for 410%, The Finisher is 340% and 20% Defense reduction, which I don't see being a HUGE factor unless you're fighting some big monsters.
Also Teleporting up then using the finisher is tricky, Especially if you're using Yellow Aura, ADA would be slower, yes, but foolproof. And Consistency would be a huge factor in dps, you have to factor in the messed up attempts as well.
Think of it as Atomic Hammer to Punch Launcher, Atomic Hammer, Pierces defense, but Punch Launcher is eventually superior, even though Punch Launcher doesn't Pierce Defense.
Also, if you're holding down a skill key it cuts the frames you spend off skill down significantly. If you hit a skill normally, you go into a "Breath catching animation" Holding the skill down doesn't show that animation until the skill is released and as such is faster, Tapping will however show one hunched over frame normally.
