Please no, no no and again no, don't compare a casual raid as CT1-CT2-CT3 with FCOB.
You can parse the damage inside CT and the 50% of the dps can barely reach 200 dps because they are slacking, bad geared or just simply is the 20th run and he is tired to farm that raid. You can't extrapolate that data.
And obviously 4-man content is not valid too.

Why was DRG buffed? Because inside FCOB, his damage was low in comparation than the others dps, his magic defense was low too, so they died by mechanics when others members survive.

Why was War revamped? Because in First Coil, warrior slacked on defensive cooldowns and died where a paladin survive or had more abilities to prevent damage.

Why was the blm was buffed? For Second Coil.

Why was BRD nerfed? First Coil

Sound elitist, but it is. The content is based on high end.
