Why is DoTs useless in this game?

Makes no sense that they should specialize in AoE burst... why would anyone bring you to a raid with that? If you need AoE(both burst and sustained), then BLM is light years ahead, and SE putting SMN ahead of BLM on AoE, would be the most stupid thing they could do.

SMN should be a job with high single target sustained DPS, while BLM is the AoE kings with high burst.

I see a lot of people who wants more AoE for SMN, but are all talking about dungeon runs or something? because it's not the lack of AoE that's causing the low amount of SMNs in raids...
