White Mage Changes

Can you give an illustrated rotation incorporating the changes implemented? I wrote an example of a rotation but after the 60s I am still not reaching a loop in any particular part of the rotation except Glare-Smite and DoT refresh.

Glare (2,5s) - Smite(5s) - Dia(7,5s) - Refulgence/Aero3(10s) - Glare(12,5s) - Shine(15s) - Glare(17,5s) - Smite(20s) - Glare(22,5s) - Shine(25s) - Bloom(27,5s) - Afflatus Lily(30s) - Glare(32,5s) - Smite(35s) - Dia(37,5s) - Refulgence(40s) - Glare(42,5s) - Shine(45s) - Glare(47,5s) - Smite(50s) - Glare(52,5s) - Shine(55s) - Afflatus Lily(57,5s) - Afflatus Lily(60s) - Misery(62,5) - and still not looping

Also, Bloom can be cast twice per minute, are we supposed to use it despite not having misery ready? What's the intended optimal playstyle?

I hadn't really thought much about rotation windows honestly (same with potencies), but the numbers can be adjusted to make it more fluid. It isn't supposed to be too strict of a rotation as the timings on lilies usage and shines would change depending on the fight. And yes, Bloom is meant to be used twice in between each cast of Misery if possible as it buffs your upcoming Misery up to two times. Honestly, written out that way it is a bit clunky. I'll go ahead and make Smite's buff last 30 seconds so you're not recasting as much.

Glare 2.5 - Smite 5 - Dia 7.5 - Refulgence 10 - Glare 12.5 - Shine 15 - Glare 17.5 - Shine 20 - Bloom 22.5 - Lily? 25 - Glare 27.5 - Shine 30 - Glare 32.5 - Smite 35 - Dia 37.5 - Refulgence 40 - Glare 42.5 - Shine 45 - Lily? 47.5 - Lily? 50 - Bloom 52.5 - Misery 55 - Glare 57.5 - Shine 60 - Glare 62.5 - Smite 65 - Dia 67.5 - Refulgence 70...

This leaves more flexibility for getting heals and shines in since those are pretty interchangeable (assuming lilies don't break your combo). If this is still too much to juggle, an easy change would be to limit the amount of times you need to cast Shine to one. That frees up 10 seconds from the one-minute rotation for any adjustments. That would make it much easier to stack your blooms, open up more time for GCD heals which white mage uses more than any other healer job, and let you use your refulgence procs more without throwing off your rhythm.

Glare 2.5 - Smite 5 - Dia 7.5 - Refulgence 10 - Glare 12.5 - Shine 15 - Bloom 17.5 - Glare 20 - Shine 22.5 - FREE 25 - FREE 27.5 - FREE 30 - Glare 32.5 - Smite 35 - Dia 37.5 - Refulgence 40 - FREE 42.5 - FREE 45 - Bloom 47.5 - Misery 50 - FREE* 52.5 - FREE* 55 - Glare 57.5 - Shine 60 - Glare 62.5 - Smite 65 - Dia 67.5 - Refulgence 70...

Any of the "FREE" spaces before Misery could be used for Lilies, GCD heals, Refulgence procs or more Glare/Shine combos.
