heres my 2gil:

Think outside the box.

theres more ways to use a ninja, they are a subjob and in knowing that theres not too many people that know things or how to sucessfully use one without resorting to asking someone else how to use one. in my opinion, they can be used as a tank, ranger (throwing weps- they can attack from far away), traveling support (some areas you will NEED that invij and sneak lol), and other things (i am still uncertain as of yet). if theres no time to get an attacking monster off of the main tank or WHM (in severe cases) then the taunt/cure and blink device comes in handy. if you need to get somewhere and your party is made up of purely mediocre classes (RNG/BLM, BST/WHM, DRK/SMN, WAR/BRD, and you) then you can sneak them to their destined target (get the others to haul ass and explode on a monster, use invij once they bounce, or pull the monster away with ninjutsu)to get the job done (with a prayer of course) so in my opinion, they are a makeshift/underestimated class. in conclusion, there are many ways and much potential with a ninja so youwill have to explore them all. :D
