Here's the idea behind Final Dance locking and I apologize if it was unclear. I tried to keep it short and to the point on the E3 page to avoid clutter.

The drop rates for Graf on E3 Node L Easy are roughly:

Overall: 0.77%

Formation 1: 0%

Formation 2:  1.02%

Formation 3:  1.09% (This is Final Dance formation meaning if you're on final kill/dance of the map, you will ALWAYS encounter this formation)

By locking the map to final dance, we mean you keep the map on the last boss kill to consistently farm node L, i.e. exit after completing Node L, don't proceed to the boss node. This lets you cut out encountering the no drop formation on Node L, increasing the likelihood of a find in the long run. Whether it's worthwhile for you to do given your time, resources, buckets etc, etc, is really subjective and contextual.
