Seems this is getting pretty long, just gonna throw a tl;dr out there for people who come into the thread late:

10% buff to BLM make BLM generally higher single target while standing still vs. SMN but high movement situations still cause SMN to come out on top.
High Foes req uptime required to compete with Monks in single target, but still possible.
BLM are fine now, they still take a fair amount of skill to master (minimizing movement is huge), but hey, at least now the "best" BLMs isn't only doing as much as "average" SMNs but better.
