    DRG: Low Skill Medium to High Damage Melee
    MNK: High Skill Extremely High Damage Melee
    BRD: Low to Medium DMG Ranged/Support Class
    BLM: Low Skill/ Medium to High Damage Ranged
    SMN: High Skill Extremely High damage Ranged.
    Not to nitpick but your addressing of the dps classes is pretty off and narrowed down.
    For example compare a standard SMN rotation to a standard DRG rotation. I play a lot of MNK and DRG at endgame and i can guarantee you that skill gap is very minor. Should be more like this:

    DRG: Burst/off GCD based melee dps
    MNK: Stance based/ sustained melee dps
    BRD: ranged dps/support hybrid
    BLM: Burst caster dps
    SMN: Pet/DoT based caster dps
