You know, they slap stupidly lengthy cooldowns on pretty much everything for no reason.

Also please don't compare monk gap closers to dragoon. Dragoon has a ranged attack and they don't lose a massive damage buff when they don't have uptime on a mob. If any class should have significantly better gap closers, it should be monk considering their lack of ranged options and the awful greased lightning mechanic.
Dragoon has 2 gap closers, at 60 seconds and 120 seconds (and elusive if you count it at 180 seconds), versus monk with one at 30 seconds. Regular jump is just an off GCD attack with a huge range, that is pretty much the opposite of a gap closer.

Monk's gap closer stuns, as does the 60 second DRG, so they are not usable on the rare bosses that can be stunned and need to be at certain times.
