Unless there's a significant difference in non-rDPS utility or ease of play or raid affordances (complete mobility and range being among them, respectively), jobs should have, averaged across most raid tiers in a given expansion, almost perfectly equal rDPS. Ninja is certainly more complex, depends more on party follow-up to see its value through, and provides less (non-rDPS) utility than Reaper. It should therefore be ahead in rDPS. Dragoon, while not much more complex, also provides no non-rDPS utility outside of its single Role Action; it should likewise be ahead of Reaper in rDPS. Arguably, they should both be faintly ahead of Monk and Samurai, too, so long as they have party follow-up on their rDPS raid buffs at equal or greater skill to the SAM or MNK the NIN/DRG would be replacing.
With Reaper it's more the being able to hit Communio twice under Raid buffs because then can hold Shroud Gauge until full and do a triple Shroud combo which is absolutely nutty. So they'll go into Shroud mode 20 seconds before Arcane circle comes off cooldown, go through their combo, Arcane Circle and go into Shroud again, full combo, Plentiful Harvest and go into it again.

They probably just need to extend the cooldown on Lemures Shroud so they can't do such a crazy extended burst phase.
