In fact most mages have their own, sustainable AoE rotations anyway. That arbitrary barrier just doesn't exist for mages like it did for physical.

A RDM will never run out of MP unless they cast Verraise.
A BLM will never run out of MP, period, but it dictates their Ice/Fire rotation.
Cherry-picking cases in which MP is indeed either part of the rotation or a non-factor.

What's with a WHM spamming Holy?
It's an AoE spell which does damage, but spamming is prevented due to its cost + WHM needing the MP for heals.
