Take away this engagement, and that is when jobs start to feel boring.
I'm sorry, are you actually arguing that executing muscle memory is engagement? For whom? The newest of new players?

This is obviously also ignoring the facts that, the more you see a flashy skill, the less of an impact it has. If you were to see Final Heaven every 2 minutes for example, do you think it would still feel impactful after seeing it 5 times in a fight? Couple that with seeing Dragonsong Dive, Meteor and Satellite Beam at the same time? Even then, not every job should be all about the flashiness. Monk tended to draw people towards it because it wasn't flashy. Again, personal LBs will not work in the way you envision them.
If that were true, there wouldn't be a thousand and one memes about Warriors and Bloodwhetting and Primal Rend. Or the millions of unga bunga MOAR FELL CLEAVER memes in ShB.
