Intro:
Better known as "Jack of all Trades, Master of None", Jean's build can be fairly confusing.
I've seen so many questions regarding Jean that I sadly can't answer, so I decided to make a research about it.

What's in this analysis?
1. Comparison between 7 different weapons:
- Aquila Favonia (5★).
- Skyward Blade (5★).
- The Flute.
- Lion's Roar.
• All damages in this simulation will disregard the passive of this weapon.
- R5 Festering Desire.
- Black Sword.
- R2 Prototype Rancour (Only on 4-Gladiator build)
• Will be assumed the passive is active at full stack (+20% attack).
2. Comparison between 5 different artifact builds:
- Healing Build: 4-Maiden Beloved.
Main stat: Attack/Attack/Healing Bonus
Substat:
58% Attack
32.5% ER (Energy Recharge)
- Dedicated Burst Healer: 4-Maiden Beloved.
Main stat: ER/Attack/Healing Bonus
Substat:
58% Attack
32.5% ER
- Swirl Support: 4-Viridescent Venerer.
Main stat: EM/Anemo/EM
Substat:
230 EM (Elemental Mastery)
29% Attack
- Hybrid DPS: 2-Gladiator + 2-Viridescent Venerer.
Main stat: Attack/Anemo/Crit Damage
Substat:
28% Crit Rate
62% Crit Damage
P.S. Crit Damage will be adjusted to obtain 60% Crit Rate
- Physical DPS: 4-Gladiator.
Main stat: Attack/Physical/Crit Damage
Substat:
28% Crit Rate
62% Crit Damage
P.S. Crit Damage will be adjusted to obtain 60% Crit Rate
Assumptions:
The calculations below will follow the following assumptions:
1. Jean is lv90.
2. The enemy is one lv80 hilichurl.
3. Talent lv6, C0.
4. The first 3 builds will be assumed to have 0 crit.
The DPS build will be assumed to crit everytime.
• The crit goal will be 60%, anything above that will be considered an "overflow".
5. I will be considering ER this time, so I will be using a DPS (Damage per Second) approach rather than my usual "Simulation".

Results:
Stat overview:



"Burst CD" represents the amount of seconds it takes for her burst to recharge.
These numbers are obtained from this little simulation that I did:

Healing Simulation:


P.S. 4-Glad have the same result as 2-Glad + 2-VV.
Note:
"Passive" represents the amount of healing she does from her Passive Talent 1.
"HoT" means "Healing Over Time", which is the amount of healing she does with her burst every second.
"HoT total": "Burst HoT" multiplied by 10.
(Please correct me if she heals less/more than 10 times during her ult. I tested her on the Media Server, and her healing was so high she keeps healing to full everytime.)
"Healing/s": (Burst + HoT total) divided by "Burst CD".
"Passive/s": (Passive x 5)/8.
I assumed she will heal 5 times in 10 hits, which takes 8 seconds to do.
"Total": Healing/s + Passive/s.
Attack Simulation:
Damage overview:



DPS Calculation Result:



Note:
"Normal": Sum of 1-hit to 5-hit divided by 4
"Skill": Skill divided by 6
"Burst": (Burst + (Burst DoT x 3) ) divided by "Burst CD".
P.S. Skyward Blade has a special calculation due to its passive.
Conclusion:
1. ER/Attack/Healing Bonus (4-Maiden) is a better Healing Build than Attack/Attack/Healing Bonus (4-Maiden)
2. Physical attack build results in a higher damage output than Hybrid build.
3. Best Weapon for healing build:
- Skyward Blade (5★)
- Aquila Favonia (5★)
- Festering Desire
- Lion's Roar, The Flute
4. Best Weapon for attack build:
- Aquila Favonia (5★)
- The Flute
- Black Sword
- R2 Prototype Rancour
- Skyward Blade (5★)
Edit: Thanks to CSEV for pointing this out!
5★ Primordial Jade Cutter on 60% CR and 208% CD is 5.04% ahead of Aquila in damage (On 4-Gladiator).
You can check comment 7F for other CR and CD, but Jade Cutter has the potential to be a better DPS weapon than Aquila (It's on-par with The Flute for healing).
Personal Opinion:
Quite surprised Skyward Blade is "Meh" for attack build, and even more surprised that The Flute performs greatly (I'm not using it on anyone, so...).
Seems like the best 5★ for her is Aquila Favonia, and the best 4★ is The Flute.

My recommendation for "Jack of all Trades" build would be either 4-Glad or 2-Glad + 2-Maiden with Attack/Physical/Crit as main stat.
She'll heal 8k-ish on her burst even on 4-Glad, which can total to 16k after the HoT. I personally think that's more than enough.
