I completely understand where you're coming from, and I did also enjoy drifting Mug to maximize Bhavas in Trick. Ninja is the only job I ever optimised to its almost maximum, and personally I enjoy something slightly new in terms of having double stacking debuffs. If they were to fully revert I'd be fine with that too, but since I've played the job so much I would like to have some new stuff (though I'm not willing to compromise on Trick being raid-wide) and Raijus just didn't really add that much to Ninja.
