Well, DPR has to be measured against something, with rules for the build, and averaged using base rolls, so may I suggest using a young adult black dragon (AC 25, T 10, FF 24, CMD 30, Fort 12, Ref 9, Will 10, DR 5/Magic, 126 hp), a 20 point build with WBL level 10 (62k gp), and all dice rolls at an average (d20 = 10/11/10/11, d12 = 6.5, d10 = 5.5, d8 = 4.5, d6 = 3.5, d4 = 2.5) and critical damage be factored in as a percentage of the total damage when factoring in the target AC?
I'll assume that's a yes, and work on some builds...
well i like being a frontliner and me and him compete alot
well my group is mostly evil. were playing kingmaker btw
I'm sorry, the d20 should be a percentage chance to hit target ac to figure out the average DPR. Duh...
Depending on your friends built most og the Martial classes can keep up on damage but they all loose out on desense an versatility.
If DPR is all that matters then a beast totem barbarian(1/2ork with bite and claws or any race with a Big Axe) is a good suggestion. But if you want to measure up on all fronts i suggest you look at a wildshape focused half ork(favored class bonus on ac) druid High str, ok dex con and Wisdom. It may not beat the summoner but it will have a chance.
Edit: sorry for the mess i am on the phone.
I'm ignoring any stats that aren't necessary for the build's damage output, and skipping any feats/abilities that don't affect the build.
Gendarme Beast Rider Order of the Sword Cavalier
Stats: Str 26 (18 base + 4 Belt + 2 level bonus + 2 Racial)
Feats/Abilities:
1:Mounted Combat
1h:Ride by Attack
1b:Power Attack
1a:Challenge, Mount
3:Spirited Charge
5:Weapon Focus
4 or 7a:Elephant mount! (str 22)
8a:Mounted Mastery
Equipment:
Belt of Giant Strength +4, +4 Lance
This build is made to line up, charge, and do massive damage in one hit. It can use the challenge ability 4 times per day.
DPR: 101.175 (or 129.675 challenging) with critical bonus damage being 3.55 (or 4.55 challenging). Max avg dpr = 134.225
High Crit Barbarian
Stats: Str 30 (18 base + 4 Belt + 2 level bonus + 2 Racial + 4 Raging)
Feats/Abilities:
1:Power Attack
1h:Weapon Focus
2a:Beast Totem (this isn't for damage, but you want pounce)
3:Combat Reflexes (not figured in, but trust me, all barbarians want this)
4a:Elemental Rage, Lesser
8a:elemental Rage, Greater
9:Improved Critical
+3 Furious Falchion, Belt of Giant Strength +4
This build benefits most from lots of AO's. There are many ways to get these as a barbarian. However, just the standard attack pattern is very strong. I'm assuming you get haste here, because if not get haste anyway.
DPR with criticals figured in = 114.84
I'll try to find time to lay down more builds soon.
wow i really like your builds halfing barbarian

My next favorite is fun, and you won't like him when he's angry...
Barbarian 1/Ragechemist Alchemist 7/Master Chymist 2
Stats: Str 38 (20 base + 4 rage + 6 belt + 2 levels + 6 mutagen
1: Rage; Power Attack, weapon focus
2: Mutagen
3: Rage Mutagen, Feral Mutagen, Iron Will (you want this to avoid the downside of rage mutagen).
5: Multiattack
7:Extra Discovery (Wings)
Equipment: Belt of Giant Strength +6, Amulet of Mighty Fists +2
Notes: If the DM allows the tentacle to be used in the natural attack progression, get it, and by the gods have haste.
Attack progression: 2 Bites +22 1d8+16, 2 Claws +22 1d6+16, Tentacle +20 1d4+9
DPR (no crit figured in/negligable) = 81.2
This isn't as impressive, except that you pick up brutality at level 11, which adds +2 - +6 damage to all natural attacks, and the build continues to go up in strength and caps at 50. It's one of the best damaging gish builds I've come up with.

Against AC 25 -> 62.5 DPR
So, yay, you are about equal to an decently optimized fighter, but if you get into a flanking position.......
Flanking against AC 25 -> 159.4 DPR
Oh, and you have the ability to use poisons, so if you want to coat your blades in something nasty or you can add the Preservationist Archtype, and you can summon your own flanking buddies.
I wonder why Vivisectionists were banned from PFS Organized play....

That includes the elephant attacks?
Maybe a tiger is better, it should have str 20, but pounces with 3 to 5 additional attacks and the human can have a banner with +4 morale bonus charge attack at level 10. With charger animal archetype he gets half the challenge bonus, a +4 to hit/ +5 dam pouncing tiger could make up the lost ST of elephant.
Seeing as how you're going to use ride by attack in real situations I didn't see it as viable to include. But that is very true, go with a pouncer if you want a truely one hit wonder.
