Jobs are also mostly played based on how enjoyable they are, not how they perform and we have data from HW where the "meta" was MCH/BRD/DRG/NIN, BLM and SMN were quite fairly played.
So you agree they should at least give mch and brd some form of cast times again? Common thread between all three of the casters is that they have cast bars at some point of their rotations. Smn (if played correct) is half its rotation Rdm every other spell and blm for majority of its rotation. And it might not be as much of a turret as before still takes learning the job to effectively use its mobility well while still outputting good numbers. I dont even think giving Mch and Brd cast times would change the meta again since no more piercing debuff.
