If your BLM is hitting 1100~1600 per GCD it would be higher than BLU's throughput in DPS simply because Bristling Ram and Dragon voices does delay the damage for a 50% which is probably not worth the delay. Comparing damage for hit by hit takes us no where. For example WARs fell cleaves do REALLY high damage yet they are still outputting "tank" DPS.

Also I do not think BLM is a good or fair comparison as you are comparing the supposed highest DPS job in the game. Not to mention jobs are not balanced around level 50 anymore. But at level 50 if the job is capable of doing anything above 400 they should be in a decent spot. (ilv 130 BLM used to do 600 and MNKs 650 but MNKs may do less now since their output was lowered because of new skills added in SB). Now fixing them to take less damage so they can actually solo or to unlock them into normal duties would be very nice.
