If you want to do so much dps why don't you become a mnk then? unless you want to give up your usefulness you won't be getting a buff in damage.
I never once said a BRD should do more dps then a "non-useful MNK/DRG". I said that there shouldn't be such a huge difference. DD classes are DD classes. Support is support. There are no support class in this game.

15 dps is a large margin... top end FC's sit people (and sometimes discharge them) for this kind of disparity within their respective jobs. Our 1.5 "useful" support abilities are not make or break a fight good. Do they come in handy? Sure. Are they required? No. Every one of these fights are tuned to be killed without a BRD in the party. I could live with bottom of the list, sometimes in the middle because of our "usefulness". However, please justify a 45-85 dps difference between DD's.
