Dragoon is just as fun as warrior and, no not 'middle' dps; dragoon is now fully capable of out dpsing monk as of 3.0 with the blood of the dragon setup. I started as war a while back, leveled drg and was not extremely happy........ until 3.0 when Dragoon (and Warrior for that matter) got boosted and more reliant on skill speed. This is a fast paced job, you have a large rotation , if done properly you can sustain more damage then a monk.
