Crimson Dervish is soooo increeeedibly slooooow that you don't even have to look to combo counter to see why it's bad. It's bad simply because it doesn't do any more DPS than the much faster, lighter-hitting stances.

Once you've got that, then you realize that the faster stances are also getting many, many more status procs in the same amount of time, as well as being far, far less likely to get you killed because you're stuck in the middle of a combo with incoming fire.
