Keep it civil. Just because someone annoys you doesn't mean they're wrong.

There really isn't any damage loss. According to your rotation, you are not putting anything on the boss until you are set into position. If it takes someone a GCD to get into position, then SW: P is a very good option, especially if they're in a caster heavy raid. Even 1 tick of SW: P is more damage done while running to position than nothing at all. Please show the damage loss if it takes a GCD to run in. Several raiding guilds use more than 7 casters in their raids, so your "at most" 6 casters is incorrect. Stating anything about damage loss is kind of a moot point when you socket 5 Purified Twilight Opals.
