The reason Nin has been so low on DPS was because of it's utility. Monk has great personal and raid utility, yet is top DPS.

Even though I personally dont like SAM in any regard I understand how it should be balanced because it's kit is 100% selfish. Dragoon I believed is balanced as the #2 melee DPS. Monk and Nin should be interchangeable because of the utilities they can/should provide.

But enough about me. If you think you can change my mind try it.
Look at how many people choose Monk as the class they just couldn't click with in this thread:
