Is it Time for Active Mitigation?

I wouldn't be against that either, the question is if they want those aspects back in the game since they removed them in Heavensward, tanks were able to reduce the damage the boss does with a specific combo finisher.

I don't remember that being the case. As I remember it, tanks had an aggro combo and a damage combo, with PLD also having a DoT combo. WAR might have had something like what you're describing (I didn't really pick it up until just before 4.0), but I didn't think it was rotational.
