DRG is unbalanced and desperately needs a buff.

something good, some not
-i don't feel their dps is so low actually. If you mean "i'm not the dps leader well, not everyone can be top. don't mean they suck

-they have a good spike damage for a melee dd :/ a critted full thrust surpass 1k damage. Only blm can do better

-the subclasses it's the same as monk. Replace pgl with lnc and you have the same as mnk

-Again, they get the same buffs as mnk. Don't compare it to mr.self buff

-Situational shit indeed. Again thou, it's the same as mnk with featherfoot and haymaker

-Mnk as "ultimate" skill get...nothing. Just perfect balance. Which is useful, but not really spectacular. At least you got boom

-working as intended. They specifically designed drg to be fairly easy. And don't get delusional about MNK, they don't have "freedom" to choose a stance. They are very linear opo opo -> raptor -> coeurl, and use a certain rotation in sequence.

-lack of utility it's debactable. The only thing mnk bring is as a party buff is mantra and the debuff of dragon kick, which really benefit him self an other monks. At least disembowel befenith both drg and brds

drg need a buff, and ok. But i think you're looking too far away with mnk. Mnk have his perks, but his weaknesses too, and it's not really better designed than drg as you think.

Actually I'd like to clear up a few minor misconceptions listed here

-they have a good spike damage for a melee dd :/ a critted full thrust surpass 1k damage. Only blm can do better

I assure you this is not the case as i've broken 1100 DMG critting Fester on certain mobs as SMN (Titan included)

-Mnk as "ultimate" skill get...nothing. Just perfect balance. Which is useful, but not really spectacular. At least you got boom

Also highly inaccurate the bonuses you get from perfect balance and using the correct skills will net you far more DMG out than using Dragonfire Dive will

The reason MNK is brought up in comparison is because DRG and MNK fulfill the same function; melee physical damage, and as it stands currently MNK brings far more to the table in this department, this isnt to say DRG is worthless... but it does need some improvements to bridge the gap a bit.

OP made some interesting points like the uselessness of the jump skills, but i'll have to agree with these
usually it's bard or BLM who are on top of dps parse, but DRG is not that bad
about spike damage, my FT can deal 1k damage and i've never seen any other job than BLM can do that
