I’m at level 75 and I have to say, it’s the most fun melee job I’ve played. Took a few dungeons to get the hotkey setup right and the muscle memory kicking in. The more I play it the more I love it.
What do you love about yours?

Being able to completely delete any ranged dps in Frontline Roulette, as long as there is no healer arround them.
The Mudra sound effect
Speed and versatility. You've got so many ranged attacks you can fill in for a ranged job in some cases, and the rotation is pretty malleable, that you just need to get your highest hitting attacks into your trick window and you're set.
Raiton + sukuchi. They nearly eliminate the downside of not reaching the boss if you have to move out for long.
I don't enjoy Bunshin though. I mean, it's an okay ability... But I feel they could've gone much further with it, instead of being more or less a fire-and-forget spell. Visually it's also very underwhelming... In the heat of the combat, even with other spell effects disabled, I can only see the activation spheres, but the shade effect is barely noticeable.
Aesthetics, rotation, quests, etc. etc.
I like pretty much everything about the class. NIN is the only class I really play, which is particularly interesting given that I almost always main healer in MMOs.
Oh, also! (Zadnor minor spoilers)
So nice to see Oboro and Tsubame as NPCs participating in the Zadnor front with lore behind them through the logs. I wish they would interact a bit more directly though, like being there and greeting you if you done the job quests. I wish more of this happened with the other job NPCs. Y'shtola's sister is someone that could really have more of a near-silent cameo in the HW quests.
I like the pace of combat, I like it's teleport. I like that I can stealth. I've also got about half of my appearance templates set up just for NIN Glamour as it has a wide range of sets that look decent.
Once I set up the button sequences for Mudra combinations I was a lot happier.
it buffs the raid damage, good AoE
And it requires skill, not like DRG.
Nice LB3, the sound of Mudras quickly done and the effect of Kasatsu + Fire AoE. (tak tak tak - Boom!)
Bushin's shadow effect.
A very good damage mitigation with Bloodbath on CD
