The dragoon is literally just dead weight in AoE.
Arguably, almost every 60 instance in the game is AoE heavy. Add phase in Zurvan EX requires proper ability to burn down AoE. Add phase in a12s requires proper AoE to burn down some trash. Both phases also mix single target as you also mentioned. Let's also not forget that when people run dungeons, tanks often will pull large groups that demand proper AoEing in order to kill the group sufficiently and move on.
