Idle thoughts...
With the playstyle seeming to be focused more on defense then pure offense with the nerfing of several dps and an abundance of CC and defensive utility, I wonder if they intend to make more fights like Thornmarch EX, where bursting too hard leads to wipes. Would be interesting if that's the case.

Thornmarch Ex wasn't a matter of not bursting too hard. It was an issue of not killing off individual targets early, or spreading that damage around.
Also, how are you seeing a new "playstyle" shift towards defense from pure offense here? Just based on skills added, the AoE nerfs (for certain level ranges, non-uniformly across jobs)?

I don't really see aoe nerfs in the stormblood changes. I see mostly buffs. Paladin is getting more aoe, Black Mage is getting Thunder 4, Sure bane is getting the bat, but summoner is gonna have BAHAMUT to AKH MORN things. which is aoe.
