Well from what you describe you sound like you agree about how fun of a mechanic it is right?

Thunder proc's don't cut into BLM GCD, they take up the GCD for a (what used to be high potency attack) and added mobility, while happening quite rarely, not so much as throwing rotations off as fitting into rotations (Pre 3.0)
I understand how it's bad for 3.0 but it's been admitted to be bad and I'm pretty sure Yoshi already mentioned they'r fixing thunder in 3.0.

On a bard Bloodletter proc's happen about once every 7ish sec, they are OGCD so you still need to combine it with the cast of a GCD, meaning they don't really give you mobility without dps loss and because of the rate they can happen at it forces you to use them asap, pushing other ogcd's and now even GCD's because BL can proc during casts.
