MNK were preferred over DRG in 2.x because DRG could not survive mechanics in Final Coil and were more adversely affected by missed positional attacks than Monk. NIN was also super OP so the DPS increase of disembowel for BRD was not considered. DRG was buffed and NIN was nerfed in a subsequent patch.
