Dispensers of fiery explosions, light me up... with your ideas for BLM in 5.0

SMN too.

I mean, unless you call Physick healing for like 400-500 HP at level 70 a "Sort of self-heal" or their new Phoenix skill with a whopping 20 potency HoT (Will it scale of INT at least? Who knows...)

To be honest... They literally could just turn Scathe into Drain. Make it instant cast. Replace the crappy RNG bonus damage with a higher base damage and some life gain. And the useless skill becomes somewhat useful (If, of course, it was changed to have a somewhat meaningful heal attached to it, outside of Eureka's ridonkulous scaled damage).

If SMN's Physick also starts to scale with INT for them again, then all jobs would have at least a form of self healing (With Casters all having spammable healing vs physicals both relying on CD's)

This I can get behind.

Honestly, if it was a situation like "Drain: Instantly deals unaspected damage of [150-200ish] potency and heals for [100-150%ish] of the damage dealt" it would probably be set for a decent instant skill. BLM doesn't need a clone of Vercure or Int!Physick, and it honestly should be a little harder for BLM to self-heal, but making it also an instant should help tons.
