(Yes, ARC was powerful pre-AA, no more so than WAR and BLM are now. Just that SE sort of decided to cap Archer in the knees with a baseball bat.)
They are fine?

I don't see how their physical stats have anything to do with a reason why they should do high damage. I mean if they were to be stronger then the rest of the classes, it isn't because they can't hit mobs with a stick very hard. But I do agree they are fine. Black Mages have the ability to target a monsters weakness, if they nerf anything, it needs to be, like you said, indirect nerfs like collusion and MP song.
