For PAs to beat spears you need the uncommon large mob of 4+ and even then spears output more dps unless you have a mob of 5-6 which is even more uncommon.
I asked Senyain about what attack I would need for a slow(7) spear to be equal to a normal (6) 105 sky ski's DPM, and the reply was something to the effect of:
You'd need a 113 Slow(7) spear to equal a 105 normal(6) spear.
However, the increase in the number of attacks isn't that big since Crusher is already quite slow.
The difference would be 4~7 extra attacks per minute, and that's only if you're attacking without any interruptions.
Also, the extra attack on the slow spear will help with your KB.
For PAs, I'm focusing on the 3rd job at the moment.
I know that Spears become dominate since they are the endgame's preferred weapon, but PAs are best during 3rd job.
I'll list once again which maps you would train on, that a PA would dominate at.
Spoiler
As you can see, these mobs of 4+ aren't as uncommon as you think.
