Red Mage is one of the easiest and least distracting DPS classes. There are no dots or positionals to keep track of, the proc rate is so high that they almost don't feel like procs, you are supposed to balance white and black magic but this is mostly braindead to do because you just alternate between white and black casts.

Dancer is slow and easy below level 80 but it gets a lot of off-globals, procs and proc combos to weave at high levels and gets extremely busy. What can get you most is overwriting procs with new ones and breaking the fan dance combo, especially with Flourish, but if that isn't a problem then the simple combos may appeal to you.

Machinist is one of the simplest and least distracting DPS classes which mostly has you pressing one button, Heat Blast, followed by any abilities, Drill and Air Anchor and a small amount of the time you do your standard combo between it. Because it refreshes abilities a lot it can have you pressing multiple abilities at once between the GCD. If you don't do it right, it usually won't break any combos but might hurt your damage a little, especially if you use Hypercharge instead of Drill or use something other than Heat Blast during Hypercharge. You get used to this and to be honest even if I make a mistake I still usually have the second highest enmity in Duty Finder while finding it easy to focus on mechanics.

I've been calling all of these simple, but remember they are DPS classes. DPS classes are not simple like a white mage is where there is just one button for doing damage, a dot and an aoe. The one that is hardest to mess up is in my opinion red mage.
