Do you know what's mean value and what is stand deviation? MNK DPS mean value in all population is in the middle of other dps class but stand deviation is high. So there is no point to pick MNK over others when MNK can't do this, can't do that with few percentage high in DPS if did good job.
Don't think you understand what I'm saying. English also doesn't appear to be your first language, and thus I'm having a bit of trouble understanding what you're saying here. That being said...

DPS is of the most significance when it comes to a DPS job. Beyond the various flavors of support each DPS job can bring to specific content, your primary job is DPS. Higher DPS is therefore desirable.

I am not saying PUG is bad as a whole. I'm saying results from PUGs are a bad measure of how good a job is. I am suggesting that bad MNKs perform far worse than bad BLMs, BRDs, DRGs and perhaps even SMNs. On the flipside, when played right they outperform them all.

I do coil turn 4 on MNK. I have a reasonably geared BLM and BRD as well. Both very popular options for turn 4 due to it being safer for the various mechanics. Why does my FC ask me to come on my MNK then? Simple. Because it makes a significant impact on how fast select targets, such as the dreadnaughts and rooks go down.

Again, I don't doubt that by some mean value MNK DPS is in the middle. That doesn't mean there is something wrong with the job. That just means there is a very large variance in DPS based on player performance when it comes to MNK. This is expected. The devs wouldn't be able to design a job that does such a significant amount of DPS higher than other jobs when played optimally if they didn't make it a high risk - high reward type job where mistakes are very costly.
