Relying on RNG to burn adds is bad because for every unsuccessful cast is a GCD that could've gone towards something that actually does damage and unless the boss spawns two or more adds, it's better to use a not AOE skill.

White Wind does literally no such thing and as I've said before, its effectiveness is mitigated by any raid wide damage and straight up invalidated by anything that brings people down to critical, something no healer has to worry about.

Jobs are made with the ability to clear endgame content in mind. For you, that probably extends to just Expert Roulette and as I've said before dungeons are the most casual content the game has to offer besides AFKing in Limsa and ERP, who cares? Let a job be absolutely king of dungeons, BLM and SMN already do that already, nothing wrong with a third job.
blowing yourself up is not a dps loss depending when you blow yourself up. you can blow yourself up at the beginning and return before the 10 second entry time, and at the end. Also diamondback is not dps loss if its in times when you couldnt do dps, like many large damage phases. Also, blu mage is not like other classes that just focus on dps.


and as much as you personally may not care what happens in dungeons and outside of 8 man savage raids, you can bet that ffxiv developers care, keep in mind savage raids are only done by a small part of the community. Game balance and class design are never going to ignore all the other group content in the game.
