    If you take PLD, for example. On a dummy, you'll always end with the exact same optimal rotation...with your FoF phase, you Requiescat phase, rinse and repeat. With BRD or MCH, depending on your different procs, the end result won't exactly be the same every time and it's not because you messed up your rotation.
    So, BLU doesn't have random proc's so thats thrown out right away unless you count doom or the petrify or tail screw, which we'll have to see how they work, but I'm not convinced they're worth the cast, especially doom. Machinists rotation is baiscally set in stone with the exception of the occasional slug or clean procs in the part of your rotation that does the least damage anyway. Bard has the aforementioned priority based rotation, where you are still cycling through a set rotation, just with added proc potential. By this token as well, red mage is on the same level as brd and mch.

    Edit: A priority based rotation is still a rotation, as there will be optimal times and situations that you account for and do a set thing, also to quote a brd in my FC; "Of course it has a set rotation.
    Very minor compared to others. But the songs are a rotation."
