Just guessing heh
Wizard is definitely first. Rogue should be a lot higher though. I'd list it like this.
1. Wizard
2. Rogue
3. Spear Nuker
4. Warlock
5. Sword Nuker
6. 2 Handed Sword
7. Bow

I judged this on who you see getting the most unique kills. The top 3 are the most common killers of uniques. But it depends on your build of course. A Fire/Light Nuker would do more damage than the standard Light/Ice nuker and would probably top a Warlock.
I don't think the unique kills is a valid comparison. The warlock is great DPS, especially in an euro pt, but it's not that good for unique killing, since his debuffs make it easier for the others too. But in pts, warlock is a great dps, in some situations even better than a wizard (faster zerk regeneration, debuffs, hitting multiple targets with DoTs and AoE-DoTs). Also for dps it's important how many targets you can hit at the same time, that makes your total DMG a lot bigger. A rogue doesn't have any AoE-Damage, warlocks and nukers do have AoE-damage. In a pt even a spear or S/S-nuker would be a better "DD" than rogue, at least if the nuker has AoE's from fire and lightning. I usually only accept warlocks and wizards as DD's though. Other builds are not really suited for dealing big (and fast) AoE-damage. Besides usually you'll use Dance of Magic/Wizardry and a rogue won't profit from that, since he is phy. damage. Also don't underestimate the bards in terms of dps. DPS means damage per second and bard may have rather weak attacks, but bard attacks are very fast, which still makes him quite a good DPS. Also in pts they can use dances, which increases the DMG of everyone in the pt (including the bard itself).
If it's just about maximum damage in 1 single attack, the ranking of DragonStar is probably correct, but that's not really what i would define as DPS.
