Have the developers stated which classes go where in the DPS hierarchy? I ask because many players seem to be referencing designed damage potential as if there's a roster posted somewhere.

Yup.

We have our target numbers and I suspect given enough time and a large enough data set, the community is going to work out what kind of dps really good classes in various configurations of gear can do.

Unfortunately class balance is a very touchy subject and players can get really upset about real or perceived slights. It doesn't benefit us a whole lot to publish this "pyramid" but it could very well cause a lot of angst especially among less skilled or uninformed players when they can't hit those numbers. They will then blame us for making their class underpowered.
