beside the fact that SE doesn't want smn rotation to get larger than it already is thus making the possibility of bahamut and dwt unifying much more likely. the reason you get this large window is cause firebird trance gives the instant cast on fountain of fire if you removed them it would feel just as bad as bahamut does currently . Also the trance can never be like aetherflow one is a 15 seconds buff with a finisher which even if you don't use the finisher it will end the other is 3 charges that can be used whenever you want in a 60 seconds window allowing you to adjust how fast you want the rotation to get the maximum dps benefit . the only way for the trance to become the same as an aetherflow is by making the duration the same as the cooldown and even then using the finisher would feel bad since you would lose the buff it provides. Aetherflow already exists for having aetherflow i dont know why do we have to remove it aetherflow did it's job really good

Separating Phoenix from FTB wouldn't extend the rotation at all. We still have to wait for 60 secs Trances CDs either way. In fact, removing Phoenix from FTB, and having a Summon Bahamut becoming Summon Phoenix in its phase, would actually make the rotation more systematic with downtimes (which would be more tight now) to jus reapply dots if necessary and throw some Ruin III's. Correcting the cooldowns of some oGCDs, SMN rotation would have as base something like "Trance phases to amass Ruin IV stacks and Aetherflow stacks then burning them during the Summoning phases".
