DNC and BRD are supposed to have low personal dps by design, but in the end all that matters is that plus the "outsourced contribution" given by the buffs.

If somehow the status quo gets a rebalance by increasing MCH's personal potency to be on par with DNC and BRD's rdps, it would be a never-ending balancing game every patch, to match the gains those jobs get with other people's new ilevels of gear. That's why I think MCH as a selfish dps in this group is an unsustainable choice.
We're repeating the same patterns than in Endwalker so far. Rphys (and SMN/RDM) start 8-10% in total combined damage (personal + raid buffs + raid buff use aka cDPS) behind the melees + BLM/PCT, will probably get buffed a little for the next tiers and the difference may go down to 5ish % as it did in EW later. MCH also starts even lower than BRD/DNC exactly like in EW (I believe at EW launch it was somewhere like 13% behind the melees, absolutely batshit insane), and got buffed with every ranged for x.1, but also had to be rebuffed individually regularly because it just can't follow gear stat increases due to playing into raid buffs less well than actual selfish DPS jobs worth their salt.
