"Objectively the best stance damage wise", well yeah, but only if you consider damage per hit and don't look at status or the combo counter.

Crimson Dervish is a very slow stance with lower hits/s than others. The faster stance will build the combo counter more quickly; increasing both damage and, if you're using Blood Rush or the Gladiator set, crit chance faster. In addition, faster attack speed will cause more proc/s and build the damage of Condition Overload more quickly in addition to allowing Corrosive to strip armor more quickly.
