Another good thing about BF cd is that it keeps burst windows a little different from each other, which is also welcome. Putting it on 60 sec like everything else would make GNB play the same every minute, which would be horrible. We have enough jobs like that..
Personally, I don't like the max three gauge because it makes our general rotation more boring, and you still have to deal with the annoyance of farming three gauge for burst. As it stands now, after you are out of your No Mercy window, you spend the next 40sec building gauge plus one Gnashing Fang Combo. We may get more in the No Mercy window, but the rotation is way more stagnant outside of it. I'll even go as far to say that it might be better for the job to be reverted back to two gauge max, because then at least you would be using more of your gauge rather than stockpiling for 40sec every minute. Then there is still the issue of needing three gauge max for every burst that any boss downtime throws out of whack. You can argue it's just a skill issue, but I personally don't see the skill in needing to hold a cartridge from a minute ago just so boss jump timings don't ruin your whole rotation, it's just an annoyance.
