Even DPS rotations are adjusted to boss timeline to some degree to use up resources before boss becomes un-targetable for mechanics etc.

But most of the time it is practically identical sequence of button presses for everyone involved*. There are differences in fight due to random pick of what boss does but the way it is implemented in FFXIV its just timeline blocks that are alternated/swapped such as P4S dog/snake sections.

*One of the reasons TOP was disliked because crit rng would mess this up, causing variability on what is needed to burst phase before enrage.
