You then have the fact that they've made some classes so op that you can solo raids with them. Further evidence of dumbing down.

The fact that the most recent extreme trial is just 3 mechanics put in different orders. With no further development of the encounter at all, perhaps even a nerf to the original since there's only one phase.

Want me to continue?
Why do you mean with you don't need a gauge? (also, no offense by this, unrelated to the topic we are talking, but Paladin since ARR has always been a snoozefest to play, guess i'm more used to paladins from other MMOs)

unsynched and WAR soloing things has been a thing since they added that option, nothing new.

I was talking about job/role gameplay, not encounters/bosses gameplay, they aren't the same, so i don't know what your on about. Regardless on how an encounter is designed, how to approach it with jobs doesn't and hasn't changed.
