The gap isn't huge. You are correct.
A DRG can come within 30-40 dps of a mnk or ninja. The gap is smaller than the difference between someone good at the class, and someone who isn't.
The fact of the matter is, there is still a gap, and no amount of perfecting your rotation or gear will actually overcome those deficiencies.

Damage throughput is also a minor, and honestly, insignificant part of the buffs required for DRG.

If we got silence, something equivalent to MNK traited mantra, and having our MDEF and DEF stats on par with MNK, then I would consider that an absolutely acceptable class buff.
