We shouldn't forget that Flare/Holy got nerfed too. (Flare has reduced damage each time it gets used is what I get from the tooltip) As a BLM I just use FireIII, Fire (until I get firestarter), FireIII (If I get firestarter)/Fire, then Transpose when I run out of MP, BlizIII (even though it's cast time is long it pretty much refills MP almost fully), and then just straight back to FireIII to get Astral Fire III stack. (it's even better when I use FireIII and Firestarter is already in effect)[Yea, I know I have to start utilizing Limit Break when the party calls for it, regardless of my own safety]

...but yea, I also don't have Blank on my main skill rotation on my MCH anymore. (it's clean shot now...and honestly I like that better)[my rotation for MCH at this point, lvl36/37, is Hot Shot>Lead Shot>Split Shot>Slug Shot (if Enhanced Slug Shot is active)>Clean Shot (the last one only if Cleaner Shot is active)>Heartbreak (when it's appropriate)

IMO: I think all the classes that got 'balanced' need to be actually balanced again.
