To be quite frank, the mobility at a range gives BRD a significant survival boost compared to other ranged, minus songs. Not to mention the DPS.

WAR just sucked because the abilities were bad, no amount of tuning the old abilities could have made that balanced. I'm not disagreeing with you, but you can't compare 2.0 WAR to current patch DRG. DRG just really needs some numbers tweaked and the stupid flank on Heavy thrust removed. Providing NIN with a raidwide damage buff was a mistake also, that basically seals a raid spot for a NIN. I never said it was optimal, but DRG -can- do it...you just have to be more careful.
