Hi Lord Spandex Masher,
You should NOT use wet performance unless the runway is wet. Damp is not wet.
Please see Page 64 (Appendix F) or read the whole document.

If the first third of the runway was damp, but the last two thirds were dry - then I'd agree.
If the tyres were newish, the runway was grooved or the surface drainage (surface shape, slopes) & the tire/ground interface drainage (macrotexture) & the penetration drainage (microtexture) was good (see page 16) - then I'd agree.
Otherwise, if I I thought the braking action was less than dry - then I'd use wet figures.
