Um no, you dont. I was giving advice on how to tune a voltage mode loop, Your 
advice does not apply in this context. Its very clear that you have not 
actually tuned a voltage mode loop. D is absolutely needed for stability, A 
voltage mode drive with velocity feed forward approximates a torque mode loop 
(a second order system). Without a D term the solution to this system 
function is a sine wave.
