Condensing Bard with Morphing Buttons

[Shurrikhan]

Never stopped SE before. Considering how crazed SE has become in "streamlining" classes, I can see a number of ways they could do that for BRD.

SE's simplification has always had more to do with gutting / shallowing out playflow first and foremost; addressing button bloat has only occurred to the extent necessary to still throw shiny new skill animations into job trailers without relying entirely on upgrade traits, no matter how barren of depth or mechanics those new skills might be.

Though, let's go ahead and consider Iron Jaws for a moment.

The last time IJ made any sort of sense was probably HW, or at the further in ShB in what incredibly few council fights-ish bosses we have or, vastly more frequent, when having multi-DoTed mid-gather during dungeons. ShB then removed most incentive for doing so anyways.

What does the skill exist to do now? To make you Refulgent>Burst more -- or, to do anything else less. That's it. It exists to reduce button-press variety after the 45+1GCD mark.
