The only thing you could also do to slightly improve your AoE rotation even further is to start things off with Blizzard 1 instead of Blizzard 3. The rotation length will still the same regardless of how you do it, but starting with Blizzard 1 gets your Enochian up slightly faster (more Fouls) and it's ideal to use while the Tank is still in between pulling packs. I see a lot of BLMs swiftcasting B3 at the start when you could just as easily use a fast B1 for enochian and then swiftcast a Flare later on.

Also don't forget to use Lucid Dreaming / Diversion if you realize you're pulling too much aggro from the Tank. BLM AoE is strong and you'll most likely grab a lot of hate.
Why blizzard one ever. It's generally only low level filler for a slow mp tick.

Blizzard is a 2.5 cast. Blizzard 3 is a 3.5 cast. So yeah it's a second slower. But Umbria ice 3 slashes your fire 3 cast time in half. Umbral 1 doesn't.
So where you lose a second on blizzard 3 you gain 1.75 seconds on fire 3.

Casting blizzard 3 then is a gain of 0.75 seconds over blizzard 1
