I personally feel like ninja and monk have to work a lot harder to get that dps with more room for error. Ninjutsu CAN mess up if you press and perhaps it lags and press the wrong input again. Yes you can mess up a sneak attack/trick attack if the tank moves the monster JUST how you can mess up heavy thrust/impulse same way. Monk you can lose your greased that you have to build up and have to constantly use positional. All in all I personally don't have a problem with positional attacks on dragoon and think they are fine. Every job brings something different to the party. Monks will have SUSTAINED damage while a dragoon will have BURST damage. You gain some and you lose some. I can tell you personally that monk and ninja are significantly more difficult to play than dragoon. I can also tell you that the majority of dragoons I see play don't play properly so to base the damage of dragoon on the majority of players is illogical to me.
