[RPM] Different Setting and Different Paths

Regarding DR vs. Damage, it's also worth noting that a typical DR-buff spell will give you a certain amount of DR vs. every attack that lasts for several minutes at least. A damaging spell works once and then is done. So you're still getting a better value out of the DR-buffing spell in a combat situation; if done right, a single such spell can protect against dozens of attacks, whereas the offensive spell is the very definition of a one-shot.
