From a DPS perspective...you don't actually hit that much harder, because you lose autoattacks. That's 100 potency per GCD you lose and that in turn is why for MCH, stance dancing is ideal. The one and only reason Gauss Barrel is a DPS increase is because of the two skills that were artificially locked behind it.
You also lose the ability to double weave OGCD abilities (Which probably hurts Bard more than MCH), because it is not a half-second cast-bar, but rather a 1,5 second cast bar.

Personally, I can wholly understand where people who don't like it are coming from - If I feel like playing a caster, I play BLM. What do I play if I want to play a mobile ranged? Synced 50 content.
