Nice straw man but I'll address your argument nevertheless. DPS jobs should be balanced based on whether they are ranged, melee, have cast bars, and group utility. DPS should not be even and I don't know anybody that said it should be. The order that they are presently in isn't terrible though I would move a couple jobs around. It's the disparity between the jobs that needs tuning.

My order:
BLM/SAM/MCH=MNK=DRG/RDM=BRD=SMN/DNC=NIN

**NIN only if trick attack stays same.**

I just want the gaps cleaned up. BLM at 13-14% above RDM is not okay.
