Dunno how you play but compared Queen Viera that kind of pp recovery is nothing.
Other weapons like Katana or Sword can recovery pp so well on their own that it' not really necessary to switch to Queen Viera to recover pp but on dbs you gotta do that or you will have to use plenty normals and your dps drops.
Nowadays the only time you will be missing DW is when you are not at the correct height to hit the enemy and thus clipping through a hole on their hitbox or you are spamming it point blank.

With deband restore applied on you, DW + left/right directional WA should give you positive PP while still staying competitive in dps with JT kite+kr0. Oh and do remember to use the maxed snatch ring because your earlier post seems to imply you are using an old ep3 method of doing dps.
