You mean tp bonus savage build v.s aeonic last stand build?
4 months ago I tested aeonic last stand build v.s tp bouns savage build while soloing Wepwawet in none multi step SC situations. Here's the result:
Buffs: Crooked card chaos, dia4, no geo.
Savage:
13996
23229
31105
28529
25472
33248
Avg: 25929
Last stand:
11598
9964
21320
20583
20643
23525
Avg: 17983
I forget to record light SC dmg but considering both NM died in 6 ws and I tp faster with last stand build aeonic probably still win in terms of overall dps if you consider sc dmg.
In multi step situations, against Revetaur, same buffs
Savage:
31592
19889
27995
19535
26177

Note that 4 months ago my last stand build was a bit weaker than savage build, and both had no fully augmented ambuscade back.
Overall IMHO savage has higher ws avg and easier to use, but last stand has better overall dps with sc dmg and faster tp speed. On spreadsheet in capped pdif situations aeonic last stand with 2 oat weapons also has higher dps. Than savage with fettering.
Personally I'd use savage in high lv content, or when someone else doing fusion ws, or when Im having a parse competition against other DDs, or when NM takes reduced sc dmg.
I'd use last stand against fodder, when I'm comfortable with attack buffs,or when I need piercing dmg, or when NM takes considerable sc dmg.
