I am a BLM since 1.0 launch, i have learned and fine tuned my rotation by simply using my brain and my eyes. Like I said, its something that is actually intuitive and simply comes from playing the game istelf, a lot like an instrument, a very linear one at that (like a piano). You can read tablature or sheet music all day long for reference, but when it comes down to it, it's really your own intuition, and musical inclination.
I have met SO MANY people who do(or most likely do) think they are following a perfect rotation, that they are pushing the best numbers they possibly can. But they are not. You know what the main problem with that is? THEY HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW! They are doing something, they think it's the best they can do, and they have no way to see that it is NOT!
They might follow a "perfect rotation" suggested on a 3rd party site, but if they can't perfect follow it, they should change it, but they don't see the issue. For example take DRG, depending on your Skill Speed there are 2 different rotations that yield optimal results, and this is even more influenced by your actual skill! How are you supposed to know you should change the rotation to suit YOU, if you can't see any numbers?!
