The idea is to reward reaction and quick thinking as opposed to the rote memorization a lot of bosses are now. I'm not suggesting just make it harder, there should also be a flip side such as bosses having a bit less HP or a a few tenths of a second more to dodge abilities.
If you can't dodge a mechanic that you know is coming, what makes you think you are going to dodge it not knowing it's coming?
