Snip,

I was talking in general as a reply to what you said.

Your example of Brayflox, if you have a BLM and you're not a PLD (the only job that can't AoE in any form at that level, not even multi-DoTing), the chasers die before the BLM finishes 1 fire phase which is 12 seconds or 4 fire 2 casts. CC and Binding only stretches your tanks' only 2 CDs they have (Rampart and Anticipation). But then again, you're counting odd cases where a rule can be put into question (even though it still applies) instead of proving that the "rule" shouldn't be a rule.

DPS-only and healerless runs are odd-cases and are in a category similar to BLU.

I wasn't even talking optimization, I'm just talking logic. AoEing 2 packs with 1 set of CDs is always better than splitting the packs and not have the CDs for one of them simply because it's easier on heals (or whatever role). Kind of like if you have a truck that can load a metric tonne, and deliver a shipment, why take 2 500 kg shipments and use twice the fuel, twice the time, and twice the effort only because "it's easier to load/unload the 500 kgs in 1 sitting as opposed to the tonne" where the only "twice effort" needed is putting in 1000 kgs instead of 500kgs in 1 go.
