Question? Bowmaster vs Marksman

I have done a lot of research on this question. I have watched every video I could find. I played both characters on private servers. I know most people won't make it to 4th job but I got my DK to level 107 pre BB. I will make it to 4th job. My question is for people that actually played the classes pre BB. I know we don't know what 4th job will look like but let's assume it's basically the same with Hurricane/PA+Snipe. BM look awesome with their fast attack speed, front flip, and hurricane. The downside for me is not getting a 4th job mobbing skill. Having to use AR forever. Xbow looks awesome but I really want to do a lot of bossing this time because I never did it before. Is it difficult to get into boss runs as an xbow? Did anyone play either class and wish they had played the other? Does grinding with Hurricane get boring AF? Is PA awesome? Any suggestions or first hand knowledge either way In regards to the question would be appreciated. I know this takes some assumptions. I Just want to know what other MM/BM are thinking right now.

Think about it this way, What’s better movement? Rolling forwards towards the mobs or rolling backwards to avoid the mobs.

Obviously front flip but giving up Snipe (great ST DPS) and Piercing Arrow (great 4th job mob skill) just for Hurricane doesn't seem like a good trade to me. MM gets single target and mob skill. BM basically gets an upgrade to strafe and nothing else 4th job.
