You're right that her DPS is not that bad - assuming all her attacks land - but that's the problem. A Li'l Valkyrie/Darkyrie can rush in and deliver a whopping blow in 36f, but Myrcia needs to complete a 92f attack animation without missing either hit (or wave), thus in practice her effective DPS will be lower than her actual DPS most of the time.

Awakened Bahamut Cat is somewhat comparable: Technically his attack power is 93,500 and his DPS is 30,161. However, because 8,500 of his damage is applied by his second and third hits, he is unlikely to land this extra damage unless the enemy he's hitting is very tanky, or a different enemy walks into it. This makes his effective DPS 10/11ths of his actual DPS against regular enemies, though the difference is very small and rebounds make his effective DPS much, much higher in many scenarios.

Also, (effective) DPS of long recharge units needs to be very high for it to actually be considered good, especially if their range is comparable to spammable DPS units. Otherwise, why use them outside of their niche when you can just stack Cyborg/Camera/Slapstick/Jizo et cetera?
