I just don’t see it

Masterminds will never shine when it comes to DPS (at least when alone.) But they can shine in nearly every other way if you build them correctly.

 

I'd also argue when comparing DPS it'd be more fair to compare them to other AT's that have a "support" set as one of their powersets.  So, defender, corruptor, controller.  Among those MM often will have the best DPS outside of perhaps the rare exception like fire/kinetic.

Depends how you build them.
Certain MM secondaries (particularly /Kin, and to a lesser extent /Nature and /Thermal) can put out some extremely impressive DPS figures.
Primary matters too - e.g. Bots deal crazy amounts of AoE. Demons deal crazy amounts of ST. Thugs are somewhere in the middle.

MMs don't have a taunt aura, and their damage output is staggered over the pets so there's fewer ego-boosting massive red number values floating over mobs' heads. But on the plus side, they don't share the same traditional weaknessess as Brutes/Scrappers - such as single target debuffs and endurance drains. The Crimson Prototype from Market Crash comes to mind - it's FAR easier to solo that AV on a Mastermind than on a melee AT.
