Dear Square Enix pls stop using the same skins of raidtier for different classes

There's few examples of trash pulls done well, but I distinctly remember Bastion of Twilight having some absolutely bonkers trash pulls, especially the first room. That was a raid-killer right there, in which you had to do very controlled pulls of each of four packs or your raid wouldn't be able to get to even the first boss.

Yeah, Bastion of Twilight was horrible when it came to trash packs. The very first room alone was enough to break an inexperienced raid, and there were so many more where those came from. I'd say the worst of them all has been Firelands though. You couldn't take a step without bumping into a trash pack. I think most raids spent more time clearing trash than they ever did fighting bosses there. There was just THAT much to deal with. I do feel, however, that FF XIV should take some notes from raid design when it comes to WoW. Castrum Lacus Litore and 24 man Alliance raids feel more like actual raids than Normal or Savage raids do, and Normal/Savage raids are always seen as the "meat" of a patch.
