[B]Your claim is coming across as if rotations are never feasible when that's not true in the slightest.
Ahh but at least now you're getting it.
If you don't stay flexible, you will lose DPS... not gain it by sticking to a set in stone "rotation".

It is not possible to stick to any set in stone rotation because your rotation is dictated by the flow of combat... not a set in stone on paper rotation.

But the mechanic will always occur at the same time every fight. Okay so tether is coming out, you know when it's coming out, you plan ahead for what you'll do if you're tethered. Base rotation, again, still exists. It's not some unfeasible, impossible thing just because mechanics can happen to you. Most fights in this game, actually, you can execute your entire rotation on without a single interruption. Also, I know no boss that gazes randomly. Name me one that gazes randomly.
That also is not true... a boss mob can have a random choice of which of its attacks to use. It could be a tank buster, it could be a gaze attack it could be something else. Either way all of those will disrupt your timing which in turn causes you to alter your rotation to something else.

If you get tethered your rotation is screwed depending on the type of tether. If its the one where you have to turn around to stop the thing tethered to you from following you or burn the add attached to you, you're going to have to totally change up what you were going to do next, you can't face the boss mob anymore and now you have to burn down the thing attached to you. If its the type of tether where you have to run in the opposite direction of the person your tethered to to break it... you're not going to be able to complete what it is you were trying to do. If its the positive/negative, or positive positive tether, your rotation is going to be disrupted when you get sent flying in one direction or the other.

There are tons of different variables of what can hit you and when, and all of which will force your rotation to change.
