The problem with doing this is you need to consider:
- Damage of the skills
- Additional damage from other skills (e.g. Mercedes have Spirit Surge in Second Job and Ancient Warding in Fourth Job, while Bowmasters have Advanced Final Attack, Spirit Link (I think) and much greater critical chance and damage)
- Speed of the skills -> See how many times you can cast those skills over a minute to get the DPM, then divide that by 60 to get DPS.
hmm... then it's difficult to compare now :(
The two automatic skills are designed to be as equal to each other as possible, but Mercedes has much, much better mobbing capabilities.

Keep in mind I'm working this out roughly and late, but I hope it still gets the point across.
Skills aren't exactly what they seem, and you need to take the whole class into consideration, because Mercedes still comes out on top for single target dps.
There's no competition for mobbing and mobility; Mercedes has that completely topped.
Spoiler!
(Godammit, my post got swallowed up)
You're also forgetting Elf Healing, which makes Mercedes way efficient in terms of pot use, assuming you have a break to use it. Then there's all the support abilities like Aqua Shield. And it's way better in terms of.... hair.
What? Mercedes hair colors are superhawt.

Rip initial post.
Elven healing is only good early game unless you don't get hit much by abusing invincible frames and don't get hit much
well..thanks for that after mercedes is released, my bowmaster is dumped @@ i trained so hard while playing hunter but after legends patch, i found that mercedes's really far better and strong than bm which made me tears -,- skills, damage, all all all better far more better
