Its not MEANT to be intellectually stimulating - just fun.
I'd argue that there are multiple things wrong with it.
Your mileage may vary, but as I said in the OP, personally I cooled on the Req window pretty quickly. The problem is that you're still a tank, not a DPS. This means that your big DPS window still does mediocre damage at best.
Popping a CD and then spamming your strongest move can be fun, but it's the equivalent of a can of pringles - it's shallow enjoyment that's fine while it's there, but doesn't last long and leaves you empty afterwards.
Conversely, having your big nuke phase come from proper setup is like a nice steak dinner - harder to do and rarer, but provides a much grander experiences and keeps you satisfied far longer
