Adjusted clear time
Adjusted clear time [math]\displaystyle{ A }[/math] is calculated by dividing the overall time [math]\displaystyle{ T_{all} }[/math] by the number of dungeons [math]\displaystyle{ D_h }[/math] cleared per one hour.
The overall time [math]\displaystyle{ T_{all} }[/math] is calculated by the sum of one hour plus the time required to produce the Crabs [math]\displaystyle{ T_c }[/math], mine essence [math]\displaystyle{ T_m }[/math], and create runes [math]\displaystyle{ T_r }[/math]. All measured in seconds. The number of spent Ancient runes is noted as [math]\displaystyle{ N }[/math].
The Crabs cooking time is 7 seconds. The
with the combination runes is used.
The approximate 
Adventure mode situation is taken for Runecrafting. In particular, 
Mining Gloves and 
Elemental Potion are not used. The Runecrafting 95% milestone of the mastery pool is active, and the runes have 99 mastery, meaning that 16 runes are produced per two seconds. No rune preservation or doubling.
The mining time is the one with the
upgrade - 1.3 seconds. The number of needed essence considers all runes used in crafting: 
Essence, 
Air, 
Fire, 
Smoke and Ancient runes.
[math]\displaystyle{ T_m = N * (7 * (1 + 2/16 + 2/16) / 16 + 1 / 16) * 1.3 = N / 16 * (8.75 + 1) * 1.3 = N * 12.675 / 16 }[/math]
For [math]\displaystyle{ T_r }[/math] compared to [math]\displaystyle{ T_m }[/math], the only difference is that the number of mined essence is multiplied by 2 instead of 1.3.
[math]\displaystyle{ T_r = N * 9.75 * 2 / 16 = N * 9.75 / 8 }[/math]
The magic build, [math]\displaystyle{ A_{magic} }[/math]:
[math]\displaystyle{ T_c = 1060 * 7 = 7420 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ T_m = 1205 * 12.675 / 16 = 955 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ T_r = 1205 * 9.75 / 8 = 1469 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ T_{all} = 3600 + T_c + T_m + T_r = 3600 + 7420 + 955 + 1469 = 13444 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ D_h = 16 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ A_{magic} = T_{all} / D_h = 13444 / 16 = 841 }[/math]
The rapier build, [math]\displaystyle{ A_{rapier} }[/math]:
[math]\displaystyle{ T_c = 655 * 7 = 4585 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ T_{all} = 3600 + T_c + T_m + T_r = 3600 + 4585 + 0 + 0 = 8185 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ D_h = 9.8 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ A_{rapier} = T_{all} / D_h = 8185 / 9.8 = 835 }[/math]
The claw build, [math]\displaystyle{ A_{claw} }[/math]:
[math]\displaystyle{ T_c = 626 * 7 = 4382 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ T_{all} = 3600 + T_c + T_m + T_r = 3600 + 4382 + 0 + 0 = 7982 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ D_h = 10.7 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ A_{claw} = T_{all} / D_h = 7982 / 10.7 = 746 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ }[/math]

The clear speed of this build is 20 dungeons per hour with 1000 Crabs and 1170 Ancient runes.
[math]\displaystyle{ A_{MidMagic} }[/math]:
[math]\displaystyle{ T_c = 1000 * 7 = 7000 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ T_m = 1170 * 12.675 / 16 = 927 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ T_r = 1170 * 9.75 / 8 = 1426 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ T_{all} = 3600 + T_c + T_m + T_r = 3600 + 7000 + 927 + 1426 = 12953 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ D_h = 20 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ A_{MidMagic} = T_{all} / D_h = 12953 / 20 = 648 }[/math]
As you see, the MidMagic build clears faster than the Claw build by 13% and has many options to be improved further.
Therefore, the magic build is suggested.
