I hope i'm wrong as you say.

People tend to forget that different jobs do different amounts of DPS vs. different encounters. Some encounters favor single target DPS, some favor AOE. Sometimes there's a lot of stuff to avoid - which can lower DPS.
When people say PLD does more DPS than WAR, I always just assume they mean vs. single target (if it's even true, don't know, don't care). There's no way they're out DPSing vs. AOE. I haven't done Coil yet, but let's look at the other endgame content:

CM - Tonsssss of AOE here. If you're not MT you can AOE down the adds during boss encounters.
AK - Also tons of AOE. Not really much AOE to be done on bosses though.
WP - Only done this once so far but if I remember it's in the same boat as AK.
Praet - AOE here, but none on bosses.
Ifrit - No AOE here.
Garuda - It's nice being able to AOE the plumes here. If you position yourself properly you can hit 2 different groups of them at once.
Titan - Just unlocked this but I don't think there's any AOE here.
Like I said I haven't done Coil, but surely Coil has AOEable stuff. And Crystal Tower probably will too.
I hope people aren't underestimating AOE. I've seen groups of mobs disappear within just a few seconds of being AOEed.

Also I'm calling it: MRD will get another job called Berserker that is the pure DPS version

You guys realise that we're going to have PvP-only skills and that thit point is... well, pointless, right ?

Yeah sure, they're going to design PvP skill or revamp PvE skill into PvP one, but just to leave them just as they are right now. You're crying for nothing. PLD may be trash or extremely OP in PvP, no one knows right now, we'll have to wait, and it's the same thing for every single job.

Don't call PLD's easy.

It makes you all look jealous of them.

Da hell. Like, PLD is hard ?
I'm not saying WAR is hard either uh, it's ridiculously easy aswell so I'm always having a good laugh when people talk about skill being required to play job X or Y or.. but hum... If it's even possible, PLD is even easier, y'know.

Lol, I didn't even bother reading your sig. Great point. Either way...I've followed your posts for a long time now. You've helped me be a better tank in the end so I look forward to following your contributions here as well.
