A look around Limsa shows that Marauders in the area don't wear much in the way of armor save for a helmet (and gauntlets/greaves for the MRD guildmaster), you don't see them jumping around but they're wearing light enough attire to do so. The visuals for DB look silly with them, anyway.
Leaping into the air and throwing that many knives, while already anime-seque in and of itself, further stretches willing suspension of disbelief when you're doing so while weighed down by that much armor.
I wouldn't use it for RP purposes. Death Blossom is bad. Why would I throw down my axe when its going to do more for me in a fight than a bunch of haphazardly thrown knives that I can trip over/onto or have thrown back at me? I'm enjoying it for OOC shenanigans. I am still a very happy knife-flinging MRD.
