I'm not sure there was an issue with DNC? Sure it's at the bottom after you consider contributions, but as I understood it the margin between DNC, BRD and MCH were negligible. But I can't really comment on NIN.

Not the fault of DNC, it's the fault of SE's design. I was also against BRD losing their buffs. Why can't 2 DPS jobs have the ability to buff? Just take 2 different approaches. Absolute worst-case scenario, any abilities that overlap don't let them stack. I mean, some of DNC's abilities don't stack with each other to avoid that problem. It's how they handled the shields on AST and SCH. And also how they've handled Tactician, Troubadour and Shield Samba.
