Most of the trends and job preferences for encounters are decided by the community. Many Black Mages in many statics are clearing all of the turns of The Second Coil as we speak, so they're viable as any other DPS in there. If they aren't wanted over other jobs in Coil it's the same reason why MNKs/DRGs/SMNs aren't wanted in Brayflox speed runs. They aren't the best choice for that content according to the community. It's completely selfish to ask for a buff in single target DPS and expect development to leave BLM's AoE damage untouched.
