ShB's MCH and GNB, those combos and rotations are not chance-based, they are skill and timing based. I love Dancer because it has enough other things to be doing that I can not care if a proc happens or not, but if the RNG is being bad you aren't going to see procs.
The 123 of Machinist wasn't the focus of its gameplay. It was the Wildfire loop, which is effectively no different than Gunbreaker's no Mercy loop. The only difference is that no Mercy is a little more forgiving due to longer duration and the fact that you can space out your OGCDs a bit more because of it.
