That's the point SE missed by a mile.
It's kinda rare for WoW (and WoW does not nor did it ever have such godawful netcode/positioning problems) to have the entire fight designed around bomb-type AoEs.

In fact, one of the very few offenders - the notorious Heigan "Safety Dance" the Unclean was nerfed into the ground precisely *because* you had to memorize the dance steps to survive. It's not "fun", it's routine, extremely repetitive and annoying.

This is not the case with FFXIV's Titan fights, because you can't just learn the steps, you need to memorize the entire fight and pretty much pray you don't get any lag.
