I didn't realize that people really can't read sarcasm on the internet until just now.

Your tears are dlicious, like no one ever told me that I should stop leveling war and level pld instead since they're not wanted endgame. Its the holiday season and I'm hearing Rudolph the red nosed reindeer playing in my head, but with warrior stuck in there instead of Rudolph.
*then one foggy raiding night the FC commander came to say, Warrior with your 10% DR... won't you tank twintiania tonight?! (then all the party members loved him)
Where have you read/seen info that demonstrates WAR is a superior DPS to PLD?
EDIT: If you're a tank, you can get the job done perfectly fine as PLD or WAR.
Who are these people that think leveling a job to 50 is some steep mountain that requires herculan effort?
If you can't tank as PLD post update, you should have never been on the job in the first place.
MNK and DRG both specialize in either sustained(mnk) or burst damage(drg).
DRG brings amazing burst damage for situations that require it. They also give Piercing resistance reduction for themselves and for BRDs. Whenever there is a fight where hate management is harder on the tank(i.e. Turn 2, left path), DRGs shine over MNK because they have a means to reduce their enmity. DRGs do not suffer as hard as mnk when a particular mechanic in an instance stops fighting. DRGs also have better aoe capability than MNK(mnk still has good aoe <.<).
MNK does sustained damage and in most cases do more damage than any other job. They bring Dragon Kick debuff into fights lowering blunt resistance for themselves while also applying a -10%int reduction to the target. MNKs are also capable of silencing(solo-silencing). MNKs bring their enhanced Mantra which increases healing to those buffed with it by 20%(via spells).
They both inherently have great mobility and gab closing skills, especially in 2.1(dat Shoulder Tackle tho).
Overall, each job has their utilities and do not encourage job stacking.
Sorry Xellos, won't be my tears personally, by the time I'm ready for coil the balance might change again, but if things stayed the same as you want then to, I would never see coil anyway since no one will take a war tank unless they know you very well. I play what I like because I know one day I'll have my time in the sun, even if its brief I'll have it eventually.
