Sorry, in case I wasn't being clear, I wasn't attempting to actually say which class was better.

Just wanted to throw out some numbers.

Also, dragoon weapon damage is roughly 70% of caster classes, making casters (because of no autoattack correction on multitargets) much better at it.

This is something you need to consider.

Also, I've never seen anyone top BLM burst with Flare, so I'm going to go with BLM. I've also never had trash mobs stay alive long enough that burst isn't viable.

On top of that, caster classes are the only ones that can consistently AoE without running out of resource...tp is bad and in prolonged situations you will run dry (hell it doesn't even have to be very prolonged, in 8 wide volley's a bard is dry, 3 more with invig).
