Why is it retarded? Buccaneers have a ton of advantages over heroes and corsairs and AMs and a lot of other classes that have nothing really to do with DPS. Buccaneers can do things that others can't, and other classes can do things that buccaneers can't.
As far as training goes...a lot of people would agree that dragon strike is one of the best training skills in the entire game post-BB. It's fast, has long and tall range, has very high BASE power, can be used safely from a far distance on targets that could otherwise kill you, and it's delay is short enough where monsters sometimes won't even be able to strike back if you're standing far away enough.
Bossing i've already argued against. You're not really giving very strong arguments that say we suck or are unwanted at bossing. There are a lot of classes that can't fight bodyguard A, but i can solo him with extremely minimal funding for the average character my level.
Play style is not only subjective but at the same time how the hell is it boring? Taking away some iframes and making some important skills spammable only raises the potential of this class. You can still be invincible with CSB+barrage in dojo. You can come to a platform in a training map with mobs scattered all around and with the various mob control skills move them into a nice clean lump in a few seconds to rush around and kill. Other classes have to focus on one side and then move on. Buccaneers can focus on the entire horizontal display of their screen and use it to their advantage.
Also, fighting barefisted could prove to be an important advantage later on. The cygnus queen can nullify potentials. It's not unfathomable to imagine a boss that unequips weapons for a short time. Other classes would be useless, but we would still be able to keep the boss at bay with barrage while the squad gets to safety.
