The playerbase is generally better players than the dev team and they admitted that awhile ago. Hell there's already a rotation for BLM floating around using transpose to skip blizzard 4 cast and mathematically it does more dps than a standard rotation. I doubt they planned for that
You can't skip blizzard 4. Without B4 you can't get paradox, and paradox is such a big DPS increase that you'd have to basically short circuit the entire AF phase for it to work out. Which wouldn't be too surprising. But yeah, you can save a firestarter proc, go through the rest of AF/UI phase, then transpose and burn the proc, and double fire 3's transitional potency. It's quite silly just how much you can break BLM because the devs refuse to actually fix its core design problem (AF/UI having timers to provide structure to the class).
