I don't play NIN, but I've played with NINs. What buff are you talking about, as far as DRG goes? Battle Litany affects the whole party. If you're talking about the Sight, that's highly dependent on the DRG and who they choose to give the Sight to. Ideally, whomever is putting out the best DPS + has their own damage up buff.

I'm not arguing that SAM has no utility, but a SAM shouldn't be automatically kicked from an open DPS party finder group just because of that. If it's a premade, sure, do whatever you'd like. If you don't want a SAM, adjust the slots so you don't get a SAM entering your group. On that matter, BLMs don't bring any utility either. Yet I'm constantly seeing them in many groups progging through current endgame content.
You stated a DRG/NIN team can own a good chunk of the dps so SAM can't be at top dps. To start, if you have a SAM with the NIN/DRG to compare, then isn't most of that utility going to boost the SAM's damage too? You even said it, Litany is aoe, and for NIN, Trick boosts everyone's damage.

And if you don't have a DRG/NIN team to compare in that party, why are you comparing someone to dps that aren't in the party? Shouldn't you focus more on how much they're doing in the party? When the AST is outdamaging the SAM maybe they shouldn't be in the party.
