I've been doing the Ex fights, and they were initially really challenging on SMN. Even now, I feel like to perform well, I basically need to tunnel vision. I just tried doing Ex fights on RDM yesterday, and it felt like a joke. I'm not saying I want the rotation to feel as simplistic as the RDM rotation, but I feel like it needs some tweaks. I feel like progression fights will be difficult because it's going to be hard to meet DPS checks while tunnel visioning SMN rotation. It makes me sad.
The RDM rotation isn't really that "simplistic," though, it's just intuitive. There is still enough going on in there, and some decision making actually built into it - unlike SMN. IMO, BLM has a simpler rotation than RDM.
