Minor note: It's both, but the skillset issue still hasn't been resolved.

The difficulty from learning the skillset came from the fact that you had and still have to completely re-learn how to play under the Burst paradigm. It's an entirely different mindset and optimization from the DPS and total damage focused PvE. Whether to hold onto cooldowns or misalign cooldowns for more burst, GCD clipping and the importance of APM, positionals, DoTs, the value of uptime and CC... the considerations are drastically different. You can be a 95th percentile player in PvE and still fail gloriously if you don't ditch everything you've known so far and learn from scratch.

That's still a thing, though, more so than ever. They just gave you less abilities that you can use wrong.
