Ask selves this question: Is extreme bursty style jobs universally good for all game-play or is really just useful for boss fights as is designed by SE? Mao also wants see more stuffs to do for overland adventurings buts that also seems to becomings less and less importants. Everything for the boss fights in high end content. Is really bad way to paint selves into corners.
I personally want them to move away from 2 min burst and I agree with what you are saying in the post.

But I don't do savage and this whole burst was designed for savage so...i got nothing.
