As much as people keep saying this, it also holds true for BRD and MCH as well regards to bursts, except SMN has a lower effective cooldown. Not to mention SMN's hits in an area, as well as having bane which can be the bane of a nocturnal AST's existance when it comes to keeping their party up. On the other hand, MCH/BRD were able to keep casters and healers under some form of control through interrupts, which is going to be out the window with the upcoming changes.
