Not only that because the BLM could straight up die or three people could get damage downs and you're still beating a World First caliber BRD. How would you classify this as anything but broken when half the jobs have a massive advantage over the others?

It's even worse for RDM and SMN who have zero purpose of existing outside prog. Once you know the fight, they're effectively useless since their only benefit is Raise; and unlike the Range, they don't have the gear excuse to fall back on.
I'd like to bounce on this.
Remember Zurvan? Remember "skip Soar"?
What if an EX trial like this would happen and the balance is similar to what we currently have?

Simple, the lower jobs would be locked out.
Locked out jobs in content that must be farmed.
