Both jobs lose a lot of damage like that but Drg would lose more from no rear attacks.

Something else to keep in mind when comparing drg and mnk... GL. Its only a couple of GCDs to get drg back up to speed after something causes buffs/debuffs to reset. For monk lose of buffs and GL requires a cooldown + 5 GCDs or 9 GCDs to get back up to full power.

I would say overall Drg vs Mnk is fairly well balanced atm. Both are viable dps jobs and both have a play style that is their own. The only issues I see with mnk and drg is that stacking them is almost always bad idea where stacking other jobs doesn't change much.
