In any case, I think what bungie themselves says is the fairest way to look at it: it's a fps with mmo elements. I think of it as a hybrid of the genres. Shooter mechanics with shooter/rpg character advancement reminiscent of mass effect in a game world with mmo elements like persistent free-roam exploration maps, strikes and raids, and reputation grinds.
I can't really look at it as either/or after playing it. It's a whole new thing all its own I think...

Still not a mmo. You are talking rpgs elements.. raid content in wow did not make it a mmo. The whole alliance and horde did. It was massive. Their raiding equates to dungeons.
planet side 2 is a mmo.
wildstar has no problem with 40 man raids.
if destiny had 30 player raids it would be close. But most consolers could never pull it off. The bitching that would ensue would be hilarious over a console. Would be 10x worse than the kids on cod.
it works for planetside because it is strictly pvp open world.
