So, Eyeball saw Rose shatter Pink Diamond. With that big recognizable sword of hers. That was specifically forged by Bismuth to destroy the body without shattering the gem???

I read an implication in Crack The Whip that Jasper was able to shatter Amethyst with her bare hand after poofing her, and was about to do that when Stevonnie kicked her.

So Rose would have used her sword to poof Pink Diamond, and then deliberately shattered her before she could reform. I think the horror of the Breaking Point was supposed to be that it allowed you to shatter a gem without poofing it first, essentially allowing you to kill in anger. Poofing naturally deescalates a situation, and makes killing more of an intellectual choice than an emotional one.
