It's also nice to play those classes just to know what to expect from them.
As Natkenel said. DPS classes don't matter. You can have whatever dps there is. Might have an issue of someone being miffed that you're out dpsing them on the same class. But aside from that it doesn't matter.
If I entertain another class, I want it to seem kind of seamless (maybe like lunar dancer? lel). Decisions, decisions. I like classes that play smoothly, I don't really care about speed, but I like a flow.
Warrior I don't have much experience with (currently leveling one) but they chain a lot of skills, and if you don't chain they cast slower
Slayer is the same, and while it may be the "lowest" dps, it can still do pretty decent damage if you learn the class. Same concept as warrior, you gotta constantly chain your skills together for the fast output.
For your Zerk issue. Try changing keybinds around to help it seem better. You don't want to use evasive smash as a dps skill, but if you know a mechanic is coming up and have to dodge, it can be very useful to use it then instead of the normal roll.
Gunner I got nothing to say on. I actually hate the class.
Archer is my beloved. I don't know how to explain them really. They have charge skills like zerk. Can dish out a lot of dps like sorc/ninja. Aside from the two charge skills, they have a skill called Thunderbolt that can crit up to 8m depending on your gear. Rain of arrows, self explanatory. Rapid fire which fires 7 shots in rapid succession (better the lower your ping, you said you're 50ms. So you should be fine). They have two iframes and dash to help reposition, a skill that can cancel the recoil animation from Thunderbolt and their two charge skills, similar to block canceling on Zerk.
Apologies for editing my comments a bit. I tend to forget to add stuff and since it's a tiny thing I just edit the post
