Reaching top DPS on a MNK and NIN is simply more skill compared to DRG which is why DRG is lower than both of them, though I agree that DRG need one more kind of raid utility then they'll be sitting at the same spot as the other two DPS, not that there's a huge difference though, the melee DPS are all quite balanced atm.
Missing or using mudras require no skill. AS it stands, Ninja is the least skill oriented class... well technically all 3 melee have a very specific rotation to obtain maximum DPS... so the only skill needed is memorizing the rotation.
