Will there be any adjustments to BLM's current style of play?

Keeping Enochian's duration up while managing Astral Fire/Umbral Ice is pretty much the key for us to keep up with the rest of the DPS. However since Heavensward has shown that fights will be heavy in movement so far, chances of a player ever gaining its full benefit is low. We would either lose Enochian or sacrifice Astral Fire III for Umbral Ice III just so we can reset its duration early, both resulting in big DPS loss, and even more likely when we are too late to cast Blizzard IV. It should also be mentioned that Thunder I-III and any procs triggered by their DoTs would never take priority before any other skill while a BLM is under the effects of Enochian because it results in a DPS loss, thus rendering all three spells and the thunderproc passive currently useless in the game.
