7.0 DNC is awful compared to EW

My DNC is only 97 currently and I was never big on DNC (more of a BRD and MCH enjoyer) and I'm indeed feeling the changes. I never played DNC much outside of rouls as to me it felt absolutely amazing during the 2 min as you got the rush of managing all your esprit and feathers but outside of that it wasn't too exiting. With the DT changes I have been liking it more out of burst now but in exchange the 2 minute doesn't feel as good which is a shame, hitting the new buttons doesn't give the same dopamine hit as seeing that esprit gauge go constantly up and down as you used all your procs. I wouldn't mind if finishing move became an oGCD instead for one more gcd to use your procs.

That say, I'm curious, what was the use cases of tillana before? As mentioned, I'm more of a casual dancer and when doing phys ranged in TOP and DSR I took MCH, so I'm not familiar. The one I can think of is rewind and TOP P6 where you just left a cs into a 2 minute bursts. My guess is that DNC used to imediatedly go into tech step and used tillana to get back the buff without delaying burst by 2 gcds?

TOP P6 is a big one and pulling in TOP. Most DNC's pulled with technical to be able to get the cleave at the start of P2 and you could first GCD Tillana to get the standard buff up right away.
