Well, I have a DB that was 1-74 before BB, and 74-121 after. All I can say is that after the revamp, they nerfed second job, but buffed 3rd job. About gameplay, I think it's basically the same. At 3rd job, you'll be training with the flying assaulter+bloody storm combo, even after 4th job (Actually, I feel like 4th job only helps bossing, training feels the same for me). The only thing that changed were damage %s, and the ability to pot in dark sight (This was included in one of the latest kms patches, and I think it's the same for all thieves).
As you ask: yes, they are easy to train, but they do the best on flat maps (you'll know why); and about bossing... They aren't the best damage-wise, but CoH can be helpful with its ability to KB the monster while he's affected. Also, DB may be wanted for bosses due to Thorns being stackable with SE (only +% crit damage stacks, not % rate), and the fact that Flash Bang works in bosses.
If you wanna know anything else, ask me.
