If a BRD can dish out the same dps and AOE dps as a BLM then you can finally compare yourself to a BLM...
A BLM can't recovers everyone's MP and TP and also lowering magic defense, thus increasing magic DPS for the whole raid, preventing a debuff, you can't really compare yourself to BLM, I don't get it why BRD people still comparing themselves to BLM.

Because if you use WM you attacks get cancelled when u move. Oh, and because they get a cast time. Duh? And thats exactly the next point: even if you butcher your flexible unit towards cast, hes STILL not a as dpsy as blm or melee. Aoe is a nice word to throw in, since i loved to blitz through old ex roulette (wanderer hm) with the 3 aoe rotation free shots. Those got butchered too, yay

Because..casting!!!1!!!11!O_O'

-1 for me. I like the new BRD and I like switching between WM and no WM depending on the situation of the fight.
Also, all the BRDs I know ingame are still BRDs AND use WM. They got used to it and now they just play their class (and do well with it). Yes, there are several complaining threads in the forums. But it's always the same people complaining there, which may mean that in the end, only a handful of BRDs actually quit their job for real and cry about it now, so SE doesn't feel the need to issue a statement in response to those few players who actually dropped the class because of the changes.
