I would say no. WAR in many respect's is like a dumb'd down SAM, where both have the highest personal dps among their jobs but in a party composition won't matter as much. However SAM was much better designed in that it fully committed to being the highest melee dps, though this may have changed in current raid tier given the major importance to party utility over personal utility and fight design.

As someone who had WAR at 70 three days into EA I can say that it's in a better spot than launch but it's still lacking the party utility it used to have and the dps it should have had. SE just had another knee-jerk reaction to a job being tuned perfectly as usual. It either needs to be a minimum of 150 dps above PLD/DRK with slashing or give it a utility that can help another party member. I compare WAR and PLD to black and white people in America. WAR's have to work three times as hard to achieve the same results a PLD can do with ease.
