If it helps make you feel better, we can give Warriors the piercing debuff, so Dragoons are also less essential (and so MCH and BRD would rejoice and sing us wonderful songs).
A play style that you know so much about at level 28 Marauder, right? Your DPS estimates are off quite a bit as well, if you're getting beat in DPS by a WAR and he's doing 50% more than you then you're doing something wrong.
