    How our 3.0 rotation can somehow be "better" is beyond me.
    the new 3.x rotation is better because any amount of movement for the 4.01 rotation loses you a F4. The 3.x rotation can also use Thundercloud procs without needing to drop an F4 to fit inside the AF timer.

    The 3.x no Firestarter + Foul rotation beats both 4.x rotations in PPS. Keep in mind this is the general rotation, NOT the opener. The main reason why the 3.x rotation is better is that since you don't cast B4, you spend less time in Umbral Ice, meaning you get into Astral Fire faster, meaning you indirectly use more F4s in a fight.

    If you want more proof, the #1 non-balance parse for BLM on Susano EX only uses B4 twice.
