Your logic flawed here and/or your information is wrong. There is Zero difference between "risk" for Monks and Dragoons as they both have attacks that put them on the flanks and rear of the enemy. The primary difference is that monk Combos require specific positioning for each attack in a combo string to get it's full effect where as as a DRG I have positioning requirements to start my combos. And I can be where ever I please to finish them.
As far as risk? (i.e. receiving damage) There's no difference unless the person playing that class is a moron snuggling up to the tank trying to be a hero.
