Look at the balance of the melee DPS for guidance. Its arguably perfect:

MNK: best DPS, worst utility
DRG: high DPS, high utility
NIN: worst DPS, best utility

Why SE seems incapable/unwilling to strike this balance with the 3 tanks escapes me.

Currently DRK is the DRG of tanks on DPS, but the MNK of tanks on utility. Come now.
Nah, if you want DRK to be considered the DRG of tanks, it shouldn't be able to outDPS WAR in any situation. But it does.
