Giving it to all of them either pushes Dragoon out of the meta, increases it's dps, or makes it unfair to the jobs that don't have a slashing debuff. It's all a conundrum. What would be better imo, would be adding a new job in 5.0 with a piercing debuff (or do away with them entirely). Give some variety. Could even give Rdm a piercing debuff to compensate for it's relatively low dps, though they already have massive appeal in progression raiding.
DRG losing Disembowel would put it on level with MNK and NIN for buffs given. If that drives it out of the meta, that just speaks to how OP Piercing is as a buff.
