I can't stand melee on R3 for Jumper. Only thing I don't like but it really annoys me, especially the way I play. Have a hard time not pressing too hard and melee'ing during sweaty moments.
Do you play bladedancer Drizz? I was practicing jumper last night and the click to attack during bladedancer wasn't very effective in terms of speed.
Yep, BDancer is my main, very rarely play other subclasses now. It's the only subclass I use for Trials carries. Obviously it has some weaknesses but I absolutely can't deal with how slow every other class feels by comparison. Blink, Quick Draw and high Agility are way too good. You can get revives and make dramatic escapes that would never happen with another character.
As for Jumper, yeah the right stick is very bad. I've gotten used to it by now and don't feel a huge drop in speed but maybe I've forgotten. I usually don't need top speed though, especially since each swipe drains your super energy. Ideally you want to be selective with when you swipe and use blink accordingly for movement/momentum. I only spam as fast as possible when taking down a self res Warlock or something.
Never spam melee straight at people unless they are dead to rights and not using a shotgun. Blink up and swipe once or twice to confuse them, move left and right, be unpredictable. Develop a feel for when you are close enough to be within range of the swipe's auto attack. Let gravity drop you within range and then click once. Remember that an Arc Blade attack does 241 damage so you need to swipe twice on full health enemies that have a revive shield or Warlocks w a melee overshield.
