Why pick marauder?

I don't know.. I felt I did more damage as MRD than I did as LNC. I was doing more damage as rank 5 MRD than my 20 LNC.. Maybe it's a matter of where the points are alotted or the equipment. I just noticed better survivability as well as damage in general.

Nah, LNC is hands down better DPS than MRD. You have 3 different 500 TP WS to use (4, if you get skull sunder as well), and with Full Thrust, Comrade in Arms, and Invigorate, you can spam WS all day long on normal mobs that aren't too hard. Plus, with every miss, you get a free attack with Feint. Add in Ferocity II, and you get lots of damage.

Also, regarding survivability, with Life Surge, you'll always leech HP back as long as you keep up your DPS.
