A6S gives you 10 minutes to beat all 4 bosses. For a midcore or somewhat casual raiding group they are going to spend too much time on each boss and by the time they get to the last one, the raid period will be mostly over.
A6S is a good example to explain, why this idea is not good.

When you would have a "practise mode" like this, and you wait before every boss, you would have cooldowns ready, you will not have when doing it in real. You were not able to correctly practise how to adjust your rotation and manage your cooldowns for this fight, which is one of the main issues players do have, as Yoshida statet in his interviews. This requires to understand how the rotation work, instead of just learning it straight out of a guide and think thats all to know about.

With the currenty gear, the enrage should be no problem at all in A6S. Even with some deaths. Geared in i220 or beolow, the enrage could be a thing. But when people get close to enrage in i240 in A6S, they really should invest alot more time to practise their rotations and buff management (maybe on the dummy too), because they will never beat A7S without echo this way.
