Not talking about fflogs, i mean actual contributed Raid DPS, According to http://xivrdps.herokuapp.com SMN are usually top 3 depending the encounter, sometimes behind Nin/DRG, somtimes ahead. MCH/BRD were usually slightly behind the trio.
Compare that to a Samurai (and BLM pre 4.2) who are leagues behind in terms of Raid DPS and contribute absolutely nothing.

BLM gets some buffs, it might still not be good enough to be desirable for some statics, Summoner will be very welcome in most groups because of great dps, some utility and Rezzes, RDM will be welcome for progress, not so much for speed clears, then you have either BRD/MCH for a physical Range slot and NIN/DRG/MNK fighting for the 2 melee slots while Samurais are actually dead.
