thats not the only disadvantage, drg is more of a job thats about sprinting, rack up high numbers fast, producing good results throughout the battle, mnk on the otherhand is about the long fights.....their dps only get higher the longer the fights go, till they hit their pinnacle

but i do agree with some of these posts, sounds like the drgs your speaking of just need to learn how to play their jobs or get better gear (gear is bigger than people believe, especially the weapon) and rotation is another big one
a good drg with similar gear should be within 20% damage of a good mnk, ie if the mnk is hitting around 270, the drg should be pushing about 240-250 dps, but thats just an estimate and assumes a long boss fight
