If you continue to dumb down the game, you will lose half your player base

Why do you have Sprint and Flood of Shadows on your hotbar twice? Interject is barely relevant and can be moved to an auxiliary hotbar. You can also set Sprint to a specific keybind like R3 so it's universal on all jobs. This alone saves you three buttons, though I don't entirely disagree Dark Knight has some bloat. Frankly, Abyssal Drain should be deleted after the sad state they've reduced it too. I also dislike Salted Earth and the comically bad bubble effect of Salt and Darkness. Nonetheless, they don't need to be removed as Dark Knight still has enough space to work with. These are simply pet peeves

Basically I want to make sure I comfortably have sprint available between my 2 hotbars whenever I stick to a set for a very short period of time. Granted there's a 3rd hotbar I have to cycle through anyway where all the miscellanous MMO/interface buttons tend to go such as mounts, emotes, logs, etc. But as a super casual player, where I dont want read up a novel about how to set up your UI properly. Trust me I watched countless UI hotbars guides and none of them worked for me. So I decided to say heck it and just learn to adapt to the playstyle the game had for me right from the get go.

And yeah, I know some role skills arent used heavily anyway but isnt it better to still keep them on your bars for the occasion that they do need to be used? I want to make sure I have all my skills available comfortably and the reason I have flood of shadow repeated is that my 2nd hotbar is basically my mob phase where I have my AoEs and FoS is an AoE skill that I would like to use for mobs.

You've basically summarized a myriad of excuses for why you've created your own button bloat issue; going so far as to completely ignore a system designed specifically to address hotbar concerns for controller players. If your second hotbar is your "mob phase," then why have it on your single target equivalent? And no. I'm Ultimate raider and don't even bother with Interject or Low Bow unless a fight demands it. They're simply too infrequent to matter. In casual content, on the rare occasion they do crop up, they barely do anything. Take Hermes, for example. His buff in the 87 dungeon is so pitiful, it doesn't matter if you Interrupt it. He'll still hardly do any damage.
