With a Tier 18 PvP Weapon (-4% VS Monsters) or a Tier 18 multipurpose Weapon (+0% VS Monsters or PvA), this may no longer be true. Onslaught in LEGS Raid is most likely best for your character (check with Shekka for Onslaught Rotations).
With no Crafted Potions/ Food, Your character needs 1,950 RPP per 10 Energy, or higher, in LEGS Onslaught to get equal to, or greater than, the Essence from the Max level of an Incursion Portal.
This is much easier to do with Tier 18 Weapons (PvP or PvA) than with Tier 16 Weapons. Generally, Tier 18 Weapon gives you +10% to +16% to your Base Weapon Damage (Weapon Damage + [Stat Bonus * Weapon Speed] ) vs a Tier 16 Weapon, depending on your Magic/ Melee Gems and Weapon choice.
If you are farming potions, or using food, the number needs to be 28,950 RPP, unless you also need the Champion Valor from LEGS (since this is no longer Max Tier Valor). If you need Champion Valor, go ahead and use Crafted Potions/ Food
Max level of an Incursion Portal still gives better Flux, than 1,950 RPP, due to Portal Elites. But the exact number is unknown.
CV & PM Raid Essence drops are not currently analyzed, but I don't expect a lot of deviation.
