Dragoon and Ninja's new kits allowed them to truly grow in dps, enough to pass monk. Things should be brought back to order, or at least make a monk be more useful to a group utility wise. Right now, having a monk instead of a dragoon or ninja is a drawback to a group in every way.
Lets get one thing straight, monk now has the highest single target dps and aoe of the 3 melees. It is debatable if played perfectly monk provides enough dps to make up the difference between nins st with trick attack. Next, nin got almost no new abilities that help their personal dps. Monk utility is their dps as well as DK and mantra which can increase raid dps. Monk is far from a "drawback".
