WAR in 4.0 complained about Shake it off, it used to... Remove a debuff. It was quickly changed in the next patches.
SMN and NIN were a mess and rework in the next patches.
MNK had Anatman, it took a patch to change it and full rework at 5.4. Wether you like the changes or not doesn't matter, it's the amount of work put on it that matters.
SAMs called out Shoha as a crappy ability. Rework next patch.

MCH asked for an Overheat button since 4.0 and got it in 5.0.
MCH pointed out that Barrel Stabilizer was poorly designed and Flamethrower is crap, it's the end of the expansion and no dev lifted a finger. BRD is in a weird position and they asked for a second charge on bloodletter.
If you practice the rotation once, Heat management problem and BS desynch jumps to the eyes.

Topic like this exists since 5.0 and MCH was not touched at all, they only tweaked a few potencies and fixed Reassemble because they completely went over the fact that it was incompatible with skillspeed.
The simple fact that Flamethrower exists, that the Single Target rotation remains the same from 66 to 80 shows how they did not put the necessary resources in the rework.

I don't even feel like these forums are read at all.
Correction. Topics like this have existed since 3.0. They became prevalent in 4.0 and throughout 4.x when mch was a train wreck of a job that hardly anyone touched, and persist through 5.x because mch is not complete and does still need work
