Coming from WoW where for example the hunter has aoe root, threat redirection, 6s immunity, 20% DR for 6s, personal heal cd, single target slow, aoe trap slow, single target 60s cc, speed boost cd, dispell and stealth detect flare.

Why have the devs felt the need to not give much utility to dps jobs? Have they given a reason for that design choice?
Yes all those are absolutely situational but they can be extremely useful at the right time and it is nice if you dont have to depend on others so much to survive at times which is something all that utility helps with as well.
The DPS jobs your are looking for are BRD, DNC, NIN, DRG, RDM. The game is designed on a scale; some jobs deal less damage but provide greater DPS boost to the party where as other provide zero party buffs but have the greatest DPS output.
