I know you guys hate this question but... I gotta try and ask anyway. :(

That said, your melee jobs all play pretty differently from each other and provide different benefits, but if you're looking for a more solid spot in pre formed party content, Dragoon and Ninja seem to be always sought after. Also, just form the perspective of normal queues and what roles fill up faster in party finder, there are fewer players in melee jobs in general than ranged. Which does open up options for you that playing a caster/ranged job doesn't have.

Are either Dragoon or Ninja Controller friendly? I do have Drg at 50 as I played it a short while in ARR but ended up going back to caster since my FC (which is now dead as a doorknob) was filled with melee. I have Nin in the 40s but looking at the skills earlier today, I feel like it wouldn't be very controller friendly, but not sure.

Personal opinon, Dragoon, no not so much. Their base rotation at level 70 includes 9 separate skills plus you'll need buttons for your jumps and buffs. So far for me, it's just been too many buttons needed to be able to comfortably play on a controller. Ninja, on the other hand, has only 5 unique skills in it's base rotation, but your ninjutsu are going to need to take up four slots on your hotbar, so that's a lot of your room as well.

I play both on controller and find ninja to be manageable, but dragoon to be too much.
