How many topic do we have to make before people understand that class=solo / low manning and job= party? people who want to solo can play class people who like party can play jobs. But for some party event class are still better like ifrit i wont go as drg i like to go as lancer due to the fact that i live longer and can get people up if they die + i can heal and stoneskin myself if the other whms fail to do there job.
For a lot of the jobs the classes become pretty much obsolete when you get them, even for solo. As for the LNC/DRG example I think that's more of an issue with class balance around that battle than job mechanics. All things considered it really is the worst fit for that fight.

I hadn't really considered the PvP aspect of classes, to be honest, largely in part because I haven't really touched them since 1.21. That'll be really interesting to see how it plays out whenever it's patched in.
