In 3.x we swapped between wildfire and mildfire. Barrel Stabilizer exists to allow us to wildfire. While when that's on cooldown we get to mildfire. Flamethrower exists only as a tool to push to 90 heat (for double cooldowns) or overheat (when BS is up) and only for that reason in a raid. On the topic of GCD, you can weave it for 1-3 ticks with no GCD loss. It isn't the case that it was designed to reheat or push into an overheat every time as the potency and percentage changes they'd have to do for that to NOT be a DPS loss is nuts.

The 3.x dynamic that existed before. The fact that this would still be the case even if OH was 20%. But, the fact that hypercharge is off cooldown with every overheat wildfire is the biggest supporting example
