You may have not noticed that when a boss hits, it hits each group of 3 as a whole. Your front row doesn't soak anything off of your leaders. Also, in PVP, characters can attack your leaders without having to destroy your frontline first.

I would still be using flamewars weapon anyway to maximize damage but its worth maxing and trying razorclaw's weapon to see if you get an overall better net damage from him.

Yeah after writing that I noticed the same thing. For some reason, damage numbers were not always popping up for my leaders row, so I thought the front row fighters were absorbing the attacks.

After that, I leveled all my Razorclaw's Weapon to 13 and tried and, while it's a little bit more consistent, I often end up dealing slightly less damage. The main reason is that bosses will still kill me in 3 hits sometimes (whether I use Razorclaw's or Flamewar's), so I might as well get the most out of those 3-4 attacks by using Flamewar's instead.

I figured it could change for some bosses (if using Razorclaw's lets you withstand at least one additional hit, then it would definitely be something to consider, and it would outright win if you can take 2 more hits).
