Though granted they run a much tighter rotation and press far more buttons than most others, especially Dragoons.
If you look at the current data MCH is at the bottom, in potential highest dps (thanks to utility) even below bard and dancer.

MCH as a selfish dps, that provides no utility, should be up there with samurai and blackmage but MCH was always at the bottom for whatever reason, the devs always gave in after people screamed and begged for more damage adjustments but it is never enough to make MCH any good.

The sad truth is that you at your very best as a MCH are as good as an average samurai or blackmage or in fact every other melee. So it is no wonder why nobody picks this job and people get even kicked out of groups for playing MCH. Cause even if you play like a god you can't beat a average player of the melee jobs and for them people rather take a dancer with them to increase their damage.
