Games that have become based in nothing but DPS are the ones that need to have carefully balanced classes, but when that situation arises the game is already dead
Every amazing and unique ability of every class/subclass should have a special place in certain situations where it is the absolute best thing that could possibly happen right then
That takes good design to pull off, and the mmo world is seriously lacking in good designers
Bad designers try to boil everything down into one dimensional fights that decent people players min/max their way through as if someone gave them a melt enemy like butter spell
