Doesn't bother me. In boot camp they call you by your number. After deployment they call you by your position. In real life there are plenty of places where you're referred to by your title/position.
In a PUG your job/class is the easiest way for everyone to know who the speaker is talking about, that means less confusion, more efficient communication.
And no, whether it's polite is a personal matter. There are many Japanese players I come across who consider calling by class/job to be rude. But most of them also admit that sometimes it's just easier as you can't expect people to always look up how you spell your name and get it right.

I'm a melee DPS. I have display names turned off and my party list shrunk down to minimize clutter on my screen. I'm not going to take my eyes off the fight to look at the party list and squint to read someone's name when I can just type "WHM esuna bleed" instead.

It's annoying but I try to think of being in the other person's shoes and just imagine they don't want to have to type out your full name for whatever reason. Better that way than to take it personally. Your name is pretty short so I can imagine it'd be easy to type, but there are others out there with some more "difficult" names.

When people are used to something, it's hard to adjust. People can call me anything they want I hardly care. As long I get the run done in a good fashion they're good in my book.

Doesn't bother me personally when people call me by my job, and I sometimes do the same and definitely don't mean it in an insulting way. I just don't feel its a big deal or demeaning.

If I feel bad being called by job, my problem is not the game.
Then, sometime you have to use job, because saying something "please brd silence ads" makes much more sense than "please Kibigh Thdjnd and Lmaoroftlmaaao Ahahahtrollinu, silence Ads".
I guess someone annoyed to be called by job, will also be annoyed by being called by "Kib" instead of "Kibigh". So i take the "brd" way, and you will...
