But i have think BLM is the AOE-king? Whenn he's the AOE-King, why then he should be too Single Target King? A bit op, or not?

The recent buff moved them from below-average to average at single-target dps. If anything the purpose was to put them clearly above bards, a job which contributes considerable utility to a group, whereas BLM utility is low.

High AOE DPS is powerful in theory, but in reality has little (or no) bearing on clearing challenging content with tight DPS checks. Getting dungeons done quickly is a substantial quality of life improvement, but that's all. Single target damage is still the bread and butter of challenging content and BLM have to work hard to deal with their weakness to movement.

Don't put too much stock into what people report from their raid groups -- all it takes is one strong player of any class to completely throw off perceptions of how good that class is.

Basically this.

However, having said that, I parsed at 385 BLM DPS on T8 and I have to eat mines in the south quadrant and am responsible for hitting mine tower. Your millage may vary. Our mnk was at 420ish and we have a comparable ilvl.
