Each party is different, you have many factors such as; DD merits, gears, weapon, your minuets merits etc.

What I usually do when pulling on brd, is pop up exp watcher, check the exp per our and try different combinations, marchx2, march/minuet, minuet/madrigal, minuetx2, march/madrigal. and compare exp per hour see what's best, if your DDs are poor marchesx2 doesn't always win. specially pick up meripos.

DNC shouldn't help pull. They shouldn't be TPing in a ranged item, and they need to engage the mob full time for them to be a benefit. :/

If you're in that situation, you should promptly rep yourself

As DRG I usually prefer Minuet+March, but if all your DD are expertly geared, and your DRG are eating attack food and your polearm SAMs are eating Crab Sushi then I'd imagine double March puts out the better exp.

Doesn't take expert gear at all, especially in the high-buff situation that is a good meripo.

i've had a crazy pt b4 that had 3 wars 2 brds and a rdm , we had to keep getting a new rdm cause they would complain about the crazy pulling but i never got so much xp in my life than that pt. it would be double march and double minnuet.
