The point of SAM and BLM is to have different class/jobs/play-styles. They don't necessarily need to be the best DPS in the game. But, they tend to be so I'll come to the middle for you and say that SAM and BLM certainly should have the opportunity to be top DPS, but you would have to agree that every class/job should have some form of raid utility. Of course we have our support classes that are designed to fill in that role of utility and thus are not top dps damage dealers, but having no raid utility at all is kinda.... detrimental imho. Having a little raid utility and still being able to push high DPS is balanced imo. I know you will disagree, but that's okay. SE will decide how to balance this based on their opinions of how this class should play.
