hm, even according to the link you provided, MNK is second mele after SAM... DRG is behind in its own damage.
right now MNK is in an OK spot, we got quite a few things we bring to the table. Mantra helps in mass heal situations. Brotherhood in opener, helps a lot to push other classes DPS on the opener part. + our damage is rather high up there. only behind SMN BLM and SAM. it doesn't even matter if you switch percentiles around, rankings stay relatively the same.

although I do agree that MNK has not changed much since 2.0, right now it is a really good choice for mele slot, i think all this fuss about it is unjustified as of right now.
