I'm guessing someone has already done the math on this. But what do you think the sustained damage rankings are? Assume they have the best equipment and buffs, and non stop pulls. Here is my guess, probably completely wrong.

1. Rogue
2. Monk
3. Wizard
4. Ranger
5. Bard
6. Warrior
7. Magician
8. Necromancer
9. Shaman
10. Shadow Knight
11. Paladin
12. Druid
13. Enchanter
14. Cleric

Some of this is definitely wrong but I'll only comment on the placing of Bards since I play one. Bards definitely do not out-DPS warriors or other tanks. With all their dots they probably would, but roughly even con mobs resist those very often, so in ordinary situations tanks do more damage since the Bard would just be using his weapons.

As hinted above, your list makes little sense unless you specify dungeons, levels, etc. If you had a group of level 60's, one of each class, fighting mid-50's mobs, then Bards would probably beat clerics and that's about it.
