Roulette's still give you a good boost without being bored of your mind
running PoTD. When I DPS, I have fun and learn my rotation as a DPS. PoTD
teaches me nothing, nor is it fun. I rather have FUN than fall asleep on my Keyboard.
Different strokes I guess. You have the options there. This game is a time sink.
So that's why I don't understand the OP's "I don't have time" thing.
Jumping to 60 makes no difference because you still need TIME to get to 70 and rinse/repeat
the same stuff we've been doing for years...but now, it's "NEW" expansion smell people are wanting to get
and people wanna get to the end like everyone else. It's their money at the end of the day.
I'm just here for the argument of time, not because of bad players and so on.
Unless you're talking about a level 70 dungeon, or atleast a level 60+ dungeon, you aren't learning your rotation in a dungeon. You're learning how to do your rotation without key elements.

For bard, you learn how to play with only two songs, possibly delaying them for bosses or whatever instead of keeping 100% uptime, and you learn to use your DPS cooldowns on a song other than wanderer's minuet.
For summoner, you learn how to manage your dreadwyrm trance in a way that doesn't necessarily consider the impact of delaying the third one and slowing down bahamut.
For samurai, you learn to use your kenki with abandon (or not at all, depending on the level), rather than considering guren cooldown, and you learn a flow that is extremely slow on kenki generation.
For blackmage, you don't have fire 4, blizzard 4 or enochian until 60, and dont have ruin until 70. The rotation doesn't even resemble what you do after 60 at 59.
For paladin, you don't learn anything about incorporating a holy spirit window into your physical damage rotation.

Need I go on?

The only things you learn about playing jobs at low level is how not to do it at high level.

PotD is far better at teaching people how to play their job than dungeons pre-60 could ever hope to be. How to play their role will get jammed down their throat in the dungeons from 60-70 and in endgame.
