will there ever be a dps war?

Short answer: No
Long answer: Not happening because the armory system has 2-handed axes as their primary weapon and would require the job be completely retooled as a DPS with a single-handed weapon. You might see something similar to it on another job, but you will not see a FFXI-type dual-wield Warrior on this game.

They don't necessarily have to have only 2 handed axe for MRD because of the armoury system, they could easily add one handed axes to MRD just as they could easily add 2 handed swords to gladiator or 1 handed javelins to lancer. Look at THM and CNJ, they have both 1 handed clubs and wands and 2 handed staves and poles. Is it so much of a stretch for them to add 1 handed weapons to other classes?

This also leaves room for expansion of these classes, for example DRK from GLA using primarily 2 handed swords, or Viking from MRD using one handed axes. It also opens up the opportunity for all classes to be available for dual wield if/when it is added.
