Making Jobs Rotationally Easier in 4.0

I also failed to specify what I thought was a given for this conversation: damage mitigation is inversely proportional to DPS (in most cases).

I think one thing to note is that stacking mitigations has diminishing returns, so after certain points it won't be noticeable at all to the healers. Most of the time stacking two cds is enough with a few exceptions like final punch/beam in a8s or holy scourge + chastening heat in a12s (and in these cases most people would use their invulnerability cds). More dps is almost never a bad thing, while more mitigation may be wasted if it doesn't reduce the number of heals you need to get. (maybe you can argue that more dps is wasted if it doesn't reduce the number of gcds you need to kill the boss lol)
