macros: bad for DPS?

[saeedaisspecial]

Sorry, most complex overall, or purely in the variation of their rotation? There's a distinction. A Monk does not need to move anywhere near as much as a Dragoon, has a much higher mdef padding to survive when they are sloppy, and doesn't have anything like the same degree of animation lock.

On a Dragoon, just reaching for that +15% can regularly get you killed, particularly if you have a sloppy tank who doesn't return to position after dodges or interrupts when they should do.

Again, you're being waaaay to general.

You're really, really grasping at straws when you're talking about flaws like that.
How do you get the idea that a MNK doesn't need to move as much? They still all have the same combo interrupting AoEs and mechanics to perform. They even have more positional requirements than a DRG does to maximise their DPS. It sounds as if you've barely played MNK. Oh look, Pugilist 20, I'm right.
The fact you think going for Heavy Thrust is dangerous is frankly hilarious.
You're getting really, really off topic now too. So yeah.
