Trying to decide on one so I'm curious to hear which ones others prefer and why they do.

BLM
Its rotation past 72 is just so smooth, and it's really satifying to pull off successfully with movement tools like triplecast and between the lines
I am only like lvl 60 or so BLM, but I am finding it very fun to play. It simply melts mobs and bosses. I have not really had a chance to play many of the DPS classes yet. Mostly in MMO's I play classes that include self-heals (because I have trust issues O.o), so FF14 is the first game that I've really expanded on a DPS role. Have to say though, BLM is super cool so far. I feel as though I am going to be going back to it a lot, even when I get other classes leveled up.
I don't have a lot of dps jobs leveled up, but I find BLM pretty satisfying : the actual rotation is not that hard in itself, but you must know the fight to really push all the dps you have out ; you melt bosses, and you will feel it (some bosses have "rotations" of spells, so you will see if you kill them faster or not when compared to your other dps jobs) ; AoE is a blast, literally, bless you Flare (it's just so... beautiful to hear and see, it makes the screen shake a little)...
And I'm only lvl59. I get better it seems.
I should add that the rotation changes a lot as you level. It can feel underwhelming when you lose most of your spells during daily dungeons etc.

Hmm I main DRG & I enjoy it a lot. My fav DPS so far.
Why? I love the aestethic & theme of Dragoon, i love their animations & the rotation flows very well.
I really like RDM as well.
Same as Dragoon, I love the theme, aestethic, animations & rotation flows very well.
One downside to me is that it's a bit too easy for me personally.
MCH seems like a lot of fun too so far.
I love how they whip out different weapons to blast enemies. Rotation is fast paced & its' a very busy job. One of the harder jobs in the game to my knowledge.
MCH just feels good. Its busy (and I'm only 62), but everything just seems like it flows into the next move without delay. I really liked how DNC felt initially, until MCH pulled me away.
Red Mage with Dancer and Samurai as close seconds.
Simple but satisfying to use. Little to no bloat in their rotation/priority system. Very smooth.
Having taken BRD, MCH, DNC, NIN to 80 so far, I liked MCH the best (which was a surprise to me, since I've been maining BRD since forever). MCH keeps me busy pressing buttons most of the time, but still has the flexibility of shootin' and scootin' (attacking while moving). Strictly speaking of my own personal enjoyment (regardless of damage/utility), I rate them MCH > NIN > BRD > DNC.
I've heard great things about BLM though, and that will be the next DPS I take to 80.

NIN is still my favorite, despite it being a lil lackluster atm. It's a complicated mess and I love it...and the aesthetics are nice.
Agreed, I'm leveling NIN purely based on being able to summon a Hellfrog.
IchiExorz, do you have both RDM and DRG lvl 80? I've been contemplating rolling RDM but I'm worried that you found it a bit easier than DRG. My DRG is only 71, but I didn't find it quite as engaging as I hoped it would be (although I love their aesthetics etc). I was hoping RDM would be fun and unique with a proc-based system, but if it's painfully easy I'm not sure how much I'll enjoy it.
