ITT: Scrub dug a hole and now is too embarrassed to get out of it.

On a more serious note, blm is only a bit worse than other jobs at progression - with the focus shifting away from tight dps checks, losing casts, while feeling icky, does not harm progression since most wipes are due to failing mechanics, not failing dps checks. And the rotation is granite-static, not to mention you have so few buttons to press. As a monk main and blm-for-fun, going from having a baseline of 6 gcds I need to use in equal measure with about double the cooldowns of blm to mashing Fire 4 with the occasional B3>T3>B4>Foul>F3 makes me appreciate the simplicity of the rotation every time anew. Not to mention that, for the most part, you don't REALLY need to think about TA and such, since most of your casts are Fire 4 anyway and you already align with TA naturally thanks to TC.
