That said, I think the class (and most classes) suffer from massive button bloat. For example, what really is the purpose of having 3 different DoT's? That's 4 skills for what could easily be 1.
They're too punishing for awkward phase pushes. What "clever use of cooldowns" did you derive from DWT? The raid rotation was basically "use a stack-giving mechanic when you have 10 seconds left on the buff, line up 3D and two Festers while under DWT then Deathflare after as many Ruin IIIs/Blizzard IIs as your ham hands can handle". The SMN OPENER got more complex, by a mile, but I never felt like AA stacks were "hard", just stupidly punishing.
