WoW has more kinetic encounters and skilled play isn't always about standing in the right place, it's also about knowing your class well enough to get out of a tight spot and back into the encounter. It's less constantly predictable and more reactive you could say. The less persistently scripted encounter design means rotations are a bit simplified.

Which is all to say, yes, they're pretty different.

I did some Mythic raiding in WoW but I'm hot garbage at FFXIV.
