Colliseum/Solo Instances

No, not really. Those that couldn't do it, didn't,

Good, the way it should be.

Rotation learning can be done on a training dummy...if you either checked the walkthrough for your class to learn it first, use a parser, or spend a lot of time doing the calculations manually. Not to mention, this just trains the basic ability to do that rotation when you are not interrupted, but speaks nothing of your ability to maintain it (or as close to it as possible) when you are in actual combat where there are mechanics and attacks which you need to adapt to.

This could/should be learned passively while playing and we have the hall of the novice on top of that.

As for the game being heavily group-content, it'll stay that way unless they'll add some solo content, which is what I suggest.

I enjoy it now the way it is, its why I play online games to group with people. If people want solo content that badly they shouldn't be playing this game, not to say there shouldn't be any solo content but no way as large of a shift as you're suggesting.

Yes, the educative part of the suggestion would have much less impact on healers. It would teach them to better manage their mana, cooldowns like Largesse and DPS and heal, but it would not help them get better at helping others. However, healers have means of training their main focal point, while DPS must go blindly by trail and error, use parsers which are not supported officially, or have very good instincts for these kinds of things.

Again all suggested and done in hall of the novice. If you are a level 70 healer and are still having trouble managing mana with lucid dream on the bar you might wanna reevaluate your class choice. Largesse is a purely situational cooldown as well, its for large incoming damage during fights which you'll have to play to figure out anyway, I rarely need it in normal content. As for the trail and error thing, welcome to FFxiv may I take your order?
