Only thing that is hard on Ninja is Mudra due to server latency, but other then that really easy.

Actually Ninja's Dancing Edge is easier than Monk as if a second Monk uses Dragon Kick you have to tell yourself not to use it but with Ninja you wont and just use Aeolian Edge.
You can have a combo within a combo, within a combo. In the middle of any GCD combo, you can Ninjutsu combo to Suiton, then immediately use Sneak Attack and Trick Attack, and then finish the first combo. Anything that disturbs the Ninjutsu combo on your end can instantly destroy that combo, putting it on cooldown for 20s if you don't have the last NIN move (I don't have it yet, don't know what it's caused) or have already used it to reset the combo. This can stop you from putting on Huton (15% attack speed boost), Suiton to allow you to use both Sneak and Trick Attacks outside of battle, or Doton if you need a damage AoE field. That's at least 20s without your DPS being up to par, compared to maybe 3-6 seconds on DRG if you miss the rear attack on Impulse Drive or Heavy Thrust.

So again, NIN is currently the hardest melee DPS, not DRG.
