I agree, if it is such a minimal damage increase why even consider it when you can instead use it to great effect to save your life.

This is like a Paladin Divine Shielding to DPS the boss while standing in fire. Maybe you get a bit more damage, but now you can't use that shield when(if) you need to. Sure we have that option, but it doesn't make any sense.

Very rarely I find wipes are caused by lack of DPS. Most cases it's because of premature deaths. Be it either because of healer mana or conservation issues, or simply because of a player not reacting quickly enough to a mechanic, it's rarely due to low DPS.

You'll get one of those 1% wipes once in a while where everyone says "damn if only I used XXX instead of YYY" but don't let that hinder you. Save your soulburns for something that will have a real impact on the fight.
