If I understand that correctly, that image actually shows that the poster is grossly mistaken. Summoners are vastly inferior to all other classes with exception of Machinist.

DPS is an average based on <parses> amount of people. In other words, an average from 1223 people is 4038. However, the "cap" is the maximum, meaning that a good player will do more damage, 4751,1 in case of Summoner but over five thousand in the case of all but Dragoon and Machinist. A 10% increase in damage is already significant, especially with Red Mages and Ninja's greater amount of utility.
