I'm a full time PLD and with an optimized skill rotation, including 100% up time on fracture, my damage on a training dummy in a 120 second period totals between 14k and 15k. I can switch to WAR which I never play, half guess the rotation, mess up fracture, use fury inefficiently, and still put out 17k damage in the same time span.

This is with Shield Oath and Defiance on, of course.

There's your balance.
