I don't know about opportunity for growth.

I have a sneaking suspicion that SE feels like they have a hotbar quota and need every job to exceed it without reaching a bloat number.

The very fact that there's so many actions that are so similar but on separate CDs rather than just being one action with a shorter CD or with multiple charges (especially prevalent on healers but aren't the only ones) feels like proof of that. Its the same with how skills are spread so thinly across the whole leveling process rather than giving players a proper rotation representing the job by 50 and only getting a few here and there later on.
