actually BLM's ThunderIII is much more engaging (or at least used to be) because its duration was too short to always match an ice phase and too rng to be planned around for movement. Unlike BRD which DoT management was an always available gcd made it fairly simple to manage.
Anyone who has played BLM extensively knows that ThunderIII management wasn't so simple as you couldn't simply use it as soon as it proced, as delaying it would mean more potency, but you couldn't always fully delay it because of rotation constraint (astral fire duration, xeno overflow, movement, etc).

That being said, I don't like seeing DoT not interacting with a job kit. While I'm fine with them gradually removing useless DoT on all jobs, DoT do feel part of the BRD identity and it'd be nice if they were more than just a side kick you refresh once every 30s. If anything I wouldn't mind a total rework with more DoT, on different timer and deeper DoT management and interaction for the next expansion.
