Use Triplecast and Swiftcast before your Flares for movement/speed. Drop Leylines in there as well if it's up.

That all being said, what AoE rotation were you doing? I'd expect the tank to at least say something about what your rotation should look like before kicking you, so either your tank was a jerk or you were doing your single-target rotation during trash pulls.
This, pretty much.

The basic AoE combo for BLM that has served me just fine at the moment is Freeze > Thunder IV > Fire III > Flare > Flare > Freeze & Sharpcast (if available) > Repeat from Thunder IV

The way you open up the rotation is Sharpcast > Freeze > Enochian > Thunder IV > Fire III > (as above)

If you have manafont up, you can use triple cast for a triple flare by doing: Fire III & Triple Cast > Flare > Flare & Manafont > Flare > Freeze

Freeze now gives Ice III and one umbral heart and can be cast from 0mp after the second flare. You use that one heart in order to be able to do 2 flares per fire rotation. Use fouls in ice phase. Use leylines in decently long fights etc.
