Asking people how they feel about certain attributes of certain jobs wouldn't be a very good indicator of anything, I think--then you'd get people saying that BRD has the best burst in the game or something LOL.
You might be right but this raw math seemed to have presented a distorted picture for a number of jobs and it would be nice to see how that compares with how people experience playing the job. I don't think anyone who played bard enough would oversetimate their burst potency but I'm pretty sure that the job would be rated higher in some categories.

The context is in the difference between in vivo and in vitro. I was trying to think about a research method that might reflect in vivo performance. Surveys have their bias as any other method but a large survey can still produce a decent profile for each job. You did a good job in both explaining and presenting your calculations but you must see yourself that in case of bard the picture is far cry from reality.
