To even try to make a comparison between the two is laughable.
DNC charms in an AOE for 2 sec, can be extended to 4 sec total, breaks Guard, and forces movement.

What happens when the WHM lasers someone with Guard up? Bunch of nothing. What happens when the DNC starts shaking their ass in front of someone with Guard up? They shashay their way right into the mosh pit and die like a chump. This is also why RPR has been seeing a *huge* uptick in play rates recently - it turns out that AOE "fuck you there's nothing you can do about it" is a *really* strong ability in a mode like CC. Like, you know how people bitch about Miracle of Nature being broken and disgusting and unfair because you can't Purify out of it and Resilience doesn't block it?

Yeah, DNC and RPR do that but it's in an AOE *and* it prevents you from moving (or at least, moving in a direction you decide.)

Honestly, I don't get the bitching about WHM LB. Every single LB, except for poor GNB maybe, is gamebreaking. AST gives their team 30% more damage and gives the enemy team 30% less damage and it travels with them. SCH pumps out a frankly absurd amount of healing with Seraph on the field. Bahamut does WHM laser damage in a *15 yard* AOE, follows that with an Akh Morn a few seconds later for more damage than WHM's Misery, and then proceeds to spit 6k damage at the lowest-health target in range. NIN can chain-neck snap people through Guard. WAR goes unga bunga and turns off enemy Guard for *15 seconds* (which is a guaranteed 30k damage on Cloud Nine assuming you have a pulse and know to save the LB for the next wind event.) PLD effectively gives complete and total invulnerability to themselves and their best friend and *50%* DR to everyone else. And so on.

Limit Breaks are all absurdly overpowered, by design. You have to look at the entire class holistically, though. Even if WHM LB is "overpowered," WHM as a whole is not. So it's fine.
