People often overlook the excellent utility of Monk. Dragon Kick is amazing mitigation, and full Mantra really eases the burden on Healers during raid wide AOE damage.

People really don't understand Ninja that well. It's not overly powerful, so much as Dragoon is lacking right now. For example Ninja's high potency and fewer positional attacks are to balance Ninjutsu taking about a GCD to execute, and Huton does no damage by it's self.
