This is just not true. Steel Cyclone is what makes WAR by far the best solo job in the game and MRD doesn't get it.

I do find LNC survivability much better than DRG, though. At Ifrit if your party is shaky and you need to bring a LNC/DRG, I'd recommend LNC because of Sentinel and Raise. The extra HP doesn't hurt, either.
