Do you think the devs intended multi-flare blm?

Here's a simple test for you guys to do.
Take a BLM, SMN, and BRD. Have the BRD play Foe's as available, and parse for 6 minutes, enough time to use Raging Strikes 3 times.
Then take a DRG, MNK, and BRD, have the BRD play Paeon, and parse for 6 minutes, which is made possible by the bard.
Finally, take your BRD and DRG, have the DRG maintain Disembowel, and have the BRD parse for 6 minutes.

So all in all, this will take 20-25 minutes.

These will be the maximum ST dps values for our dps classes over a idealized and prolonged period.
Realistically, DRG and MNK wont go past 3-4 minutes without a break. And BLM/SMN wont get nearly as much uptime on Foe's due to healer's needs.

I don't think that 6 minutes is a realistic time frame for a couple reasons:

1.) the majority of endgame fights where dps will make or break it are almost twice as long, if not longer and
2.) the longer the fight, the larger the gap between top and bottom dps.
