If you are referring to damage, what does that matter? Just because a duel wielding warrior with a pair of axes can do more damage than duel wielding Beastmaster with a pair of axes doesn't mean the beastmaster doesn't contribute to a group. It still brings some offense to the group with the added benefit of a pet which can come in handy. For example: I've done a few AA fights where the beastmaster pet saved us from a wipe.
You claimed that a job that can solo can hold its own in group play, and that simply isn't the case. Now I get that "holding its own" is subjective, but when your job's sole purpose is DPS and even at your best you are orders of magnitude behind someone half-assing another job then something is terribly wrong in my opinion.

I don't understand why everything needs to be viewed in the context of who can do the most damage.
Because that is what the job is there for. To not simply do damage, but to do the most damage possible.
