Frame Builder doesn't calculate the 300% damage from Crimson Dervish, so essentially Dragon Nikana only does 2/3rd of the damage of the Jaw Sword. There's also the fact that Crimson Dervish has better stagger/knockdown resistance (this is actually due to slower combo animation) and late game if you get knocked down you're pretty much dead. Drakana is the strongest melee weapon and Jaw Sword really isn't that good tbh but Crimson Dervish is in a rank of its own and carries shitty weapons into the same tier as Drakana and Crimson Dervish isn't really that hard to come by after being an alert reward.
