If you want to make comparisons, you need to compare percentages. A dragoon can pull 4100 dps vs samurai at 4600, both having good crits on those. that's a 500 dps difference, which means sam is 12% above which is not that high. The gap closes with ninja and monk and is even closer with a blm.

If you put things this way, you realize that's Sam's numbers aren't that high, and any nerf would kill it's whole purpose in a raiding comp.
