Players who like being right on front in terms of personal DPS should consider switching to another job, because this is not what Dancers are there for =/.
There are so many jobs catering to people who like pushing their own numbers and only two jobs for those who perfer pushing numbers of others: Astrologian and Dancer.

I understand how liking a theme(e.g. dancing) can drive someone towards a job, even if they'd rather play the personal DPS kind of job.
Keep in mind though that the opposite is also true: players like me, who prefer a supportive approach, might find e.g. black magic an appealing theme and would prefer black mages to be LESS about personal DPS and more about support, but this is not what the job is supposed to represent.
you forgot ninja.
