I've been caught in a few "rough seas" situations. I just slow down, quarter the waves, and keep the bow basically into the wind in squalls. Other than a few decavitation "roars", I came through unscathed.
I do not purposely go out in rough seas that would be described as six foot waves or more. If I'm caught in it, that's another story. My former boat (300 Weekender) and I have been through some situations I would not want to repeat. We made it just fine. I have no doubt that my 320 Sundancer would perform just as well.
Cruising in really rough waters is not fun. It can be a rush when you look back at it, but it shouldn't be considered as a normal part of cruising in your boat. Boats are a rather expensive investment. Why test it to the point that you may cause damage. No one wins if you wreck your boat.
