When I'm at Dimensional Invasion, I use Apocalypse because I can do 1HKOs most of the time to get past the spawn tick point (so the next wave of mobs spawn immediately). When I'm bossing I use Light because Spectral Light is still pretty crazy DPS.
The order of Burst-DPS during bossing for me is to start with Light, spam Spectral Light till I get one Light point, use Equalise/Memorise, and when the buff wears out I activate ToC and follow with Equilibrium. Notice that Equalise has a long delay but Equilibrium doesn't, so ToC should always be used for the 2nd part of the burst DPS. Also, it gives you a chance to recharge your Dark Crescendo. I tend to call this "Dual-Equlibrium", though "Equilibrium Echo" makes more sense.
More often than not, you will die when you are not in Equilibrium, and it doesn't take that long to recharge a Light point when you die. The balance of charging and cooldown periods is pretty good, so in this sense the GMS system is extremely advantageous if you want to stay at one side all the time. Imagine doing Dimensional Invasion, and you cannot kill mobs in 1 hit with Reflection or Spectral Light but can do so with Apocalypse. Your total time needed will increase drastically if you use the KMS system. IMO Equilibrium is wasted on non-bossing phases or phases when Stance is needed.
But true, our points are wasted when we're mobbing/training. We need them to be better utilised.
