I don’t really see the benefit of a proc job who builds towards a burst that basically ignores procs

You can save your fans for burst just like before, the big difference is you can get an extra Saber dance off during downtime, since you're guaranteed to get one from Tillana. The procs still matter, you just don't have to use your weaker combo skills to fish for them in burst now.
Consistent burst was also not what DNC was about, there's mch for that. Also going into burst without any combo or procs because they'll expire is kinda hard and very annoying
The Flourish procs still matter in burst because sometimes you get bad luck with Espirit. It's less likely to happen now, but it can still happen. In EW, it felt awful when you only got 2 Saber Dances during your burst. That has been resolved, and the Flourish procs are a redundency in case you just don't get Espirit.
The job has evolved, stop trying to treat it like it was in EW.
An inconsistent burst was the biggest problem with EW Dancer, because sometimes you just couldn't contribute good damage because Espirit was being difficult. The second biggest problem was how boring the time between bursts was. Both of these have been fixed.
I'd agree that Tillana should just give "Dance of the Dawn Ready" or something like that, but acting like the job is fundamentally different is a huge overreaction, imo. It's just been, for the most part, fixed.
Apples and Oranges.
There were many other jobs whose burst phase being mostly consistent. I liked the inconsistency of DNC's burst in EW and prior. If I wanted something else more consistent, I would pick a different job. But SE hates variances so.... guess that has to die now lol.
I wanted to main dancer this expansion, yes i know my damage will be garbage but i didnt expect this kinda garbage. At level 100..its just spam this and that...went back to monk as my dmg class instantly.
