What you fail to realize is most mobs have such low HP to begin with you don't need amazing DPS to clear content quickly.

An incorrect statement, especially with Velious content. But also going back to your statement about Mino axes being enough DPS at the mid levels. Trying doing Splitpaw with just melee geared with Mino axe's. It will be very slow, and boring.
Your entire line of thinking is a fallacy anyway though. It doesn't matter if you personally consider a certain slower xp rate to be "fast". That is not the objective most powerful way to play the game. If you are discussing the power level of classes, then you must look at what they bring to the game when people try to maximize their ability. Which doesn't mean only looking at their ability in a perfect scenario, like a Druid when charming, but rather the approximate average of what they contribute in a variety of scenarios (which for EQ can include various group compositions),
when playing the game near-optimally in those scenarios.
The way you try to talk, it's like arguing that some Tier 3 deck in a Magic the Gathering meta is perfectly competitive because of the winrate you're getting with it at whatever mid-rank you happen to be. That doesn't mean the deck is actually one of the most powerful. The most powerful decks are defined by winrate in high ranked play.
Which is exactly why ad populum arguments are often terrible. In order for opinions to be equally valid on a subject, the must have roughly equal levels of expertise. Most people never become a Chess Grandmaster. The 95% of people who play an inferior line in chess are not correct just because they hold a 95% majority. They are simply not at the same level.
