Your BPs without TP don't do the same damage as a BLMs spell for two reasons. 1) BLM wears a bunch of MAB gear and staves, on top of their traits. 2) The BPs aren't spells. They're elemental WS that just happen to share a name with spells.
they should though(at least atm) simply because we can't fire off our BPs nowhere near as fast as a blm can with their magic. TBH though, I'd be fine with where my damage is right now, I just want more frequent use of my BPs than I do. I.E. give each BP their own cooldown, that will help out SMNs the greatest. I'm not saying my damage is crappy, my merit BPs without tp do 3k+ and full TP they do 4500+(without the set bonus procs which doubles those #s, but i have an extremely well-geared smn) which is similar to a blm. However, BLM can do roughly 5~8 spells in the time it takes for our Bloodpact: Rage to recharge, and then they can just erase their hate. So I think if they aren't going to change the BP system, they should definitely increase our damage, but if they DO change the BP system to each BP has it's own CD, then the damage can stay the same.
