Summoners don't get enkindle duds and doesn't run out of MP
Monks never lose their stacks and can reach the flank and back whenever and doesn't ever have to leave the target's side
Dragoons can use their jumps whenever without the risk of a derp-death and can reach the flank and back whenever and doesn't ever have to leave the target's side

As it is now, this topic is strangely resembles a sweet 16 episode where the birthday girl cries over getting a mercedes over a BMW

I mean a group of people who all know how to play their jobs with a high level of consistency. A group of people who are in BIS or +/- a piece of gear or two. A full group of DD who are 400+ dps on every turn. Every turn the BRD is consistently 30+ dps lower then the next lowest dps. If you would like to say that the BRD needs to work on his rotation more... 400+ dps is as close to perfect as you are going to get.
