Pretty much having a NIN around is not even a matter of meta, but a downright hindrance for everyone, even itself...
Hence the TA bot mention, the prospect of being seen as a tool to boost others' personal dps logs will be only solidified since there isn't literally anything else to warrant bringing a NIN at this point with or without good pDPS, the latter would at least allow NIN to retain some of its 'dignity', right now it's competing to slightly edge out Dancer and it's gonna be a sad sight to see it possibly being overtaken and rank last in savage with the track record of these fights being extremely unfriendly to melee DPS in general.

Next patch will be defining what the dev team want NIN to be this expansion, hoping for the best here.
