Tedious does not always means harder.
What exactly was hard about the 2.x BRD?
SS -> BL -> DoT -> DoT -> RoF -> HS into infinity.

The 2.x BRD literally had 2 DoTs, a buff and a single "nuke". Tedium AND ease. Not exactly a good combo.
And before you try to tell me about the cooldowns, you could pretty much just hit a cooldown, any cooldown, every time one run out and chain them in a loop.

The new BRD under Minuet is more about timing. At 54, i greatly enjoy the playstyle difference offered by having Minuet on.

Yoshi-P has acknowledged that Minuet isn't being the DPS increase it was intended to be and is adjusting it.
Thats not to say good BRDs can't get solid numbers out of Minuet, just that its not performing quite as well as the Devs intended.
Then again, its always better to undertune slightly than overtune new things as the Ninja clearly showed, the community reacts terribly to perceived nerfs even when the supposed nerf is actually a bug fix (Read: DRKs on Dark Arts lol)
