Of course, 3min of countinuous dps parse with zero second spellwave necro buff lol, might as well log your wave of flame demo. :D
What now if you used 2 arcanists and sw let's say 40 sec out of the 3mn total just the time to get some crit and eventually feated parasitic stuff? ^^
in some fights you're not allowed to go into spellweaving, not even for as low as 40 seconds. so it's indeed a good thing to optimize the build for those occasions.
however, without spellweave, a necro cannot have aggro problems, so there's no need to waste points in the general tree.
In that case i would rather optimize in sinergy with what OTHER characters are in my group and the boss specifics (more magic or physical protection?, melee access or ranged only?, aoes?) rather than my personal dps on a strawman for 3mn straight and comparing to NF without spellwave because there is a lot more to gain there to compensate the loss of a necro that can't spellwave... lol
As a DPS, it's part of your job to manage your aggro according to your tanks.
Last time i checked this it was "pull pets if get aggro" and if you survived, then resend them and visit the fridge (hopefully for beer, but milk is almost as good too).
I'm usually specced Nightfall. It takes a bit more work ;)
