Because I dont want to be casting thunder for the rest of my BLM lifetime.

Unlike the WHM, BLM is only DD - so we shouldnt be talking like WHM needs to be on par with BLM. BLM needs to swamp WHM in DD- but everyone will cry if the BLM says "i'm going support" because WHM swamps BLM in support (which is already true lol). The BLM swamps WHM in a small average, and most obvious on thunder weak monsters but WHM can and will out damage a BLM on stone weak monsters lol.
What 90 slots are you talking about?
If BLM was superior DPS in every situation, it would make all other DPS classes obsolete; there were already cases in 1.0 where you just stack BLM. It was WAR and BLM, or gtfo -.- I certainly don't want that scenario in ARR.
But i agree, it was mostly just chaining lightning, or fire for AOE. But it wasn't actually much different for other classes. most had just 2-3 combos you use most of the time
