It's fine if you feel direct damage abilities are more fun to use, that's one way to enjoy the game. But fun is subjective so I wouldn't state that so confidently if I were you. And for those of us that care about efficiency and output there's really no replacement for a DoT. By design, they tend to be very powerful.
Would hitting 1 extremely powerful button over and over be more fun for you though? I won't say "no" for you but lets be real. There's more to it than hitting for more damage- there is a fun element and if you were given more damage with fewer GCD's tied to the same management (Hot shot + Lead Shot) I can't see why you'd be opposed.
