Which job has the lowest skill cap?

SNIP

First, use oGDCs when they're up. The only time you hold oGDCs is if you need them for burst phases (Titan Heart or Gaols, Conflags, etc) or if there is going to be a break in the fight (Primal jumps, phase changes, etc). And this is ALL oGDCs, not just buffs. And yes, use only one between GDCs so you maximize uptime on everything (This applies to ALL DPS classes; you use buffs when they're up, except for certain times [like burst or phase changes]) One of the reasons BRD is easier is you can macro your damaging oGDCs together and have pretty much no DPS loss. That is nearly impossible for every other class.

As for BRD GDCs...its literally Straight Shot, Windbite, Venomous Bite, Heavy Shot spam with SS procs, then you just keep SS up (assuming bad luck with procs) and keep DoTs up. Your GDCs are mostly Heavy Shots, and since that's the case you can easily keep DoTs up without any effort at all (no combos to worry about, and they have the same duration so its even easier than SMN).

And Songs...yes...please keep Foe's up when there are no BLM or SMN in the party. I will laugh at you for being a bad BRD. There are times and places for Foe's with casters, not "as much as possible". Besides being unable to keep Foe's up for long in the first place, using it whenever you can will likely prevent you from using it during burst phases, and that's a sign of a bad BRD. And if there's heavy melee/BRD AoE...you should have mana for Paeon too.
