I chose BRD for swift gameplay, if I wanted to cast I would have chosen a Mage.

If you've played an actual caster job (i.e. BLM) then you will see how ridiculous you sound. People have been dealing with these issues for 2 years, it in the end, it's the way they want the class to play. In fact, over time, they just make BLM less and less seamless.

You can't just compare a job that has unlimited resources to a job that drains TP like crazy if you dont get procs
Thats ridiculous if anything.

Black mage can afford casting an extra fire 1 because if the fight is long the will never run out of mana

As a machinist you want to use 1 in your 1-2-3 combo as little as possible, because it drains your tp soo much when you don't get procs
