Samurai have positionals?!

That's the way baby~
Focus on the big details, but once you're ready to address the finer details don't neglect the small stuff.
Heck, while learning and getting used to a fight its OK to stop pushing buttons all together if you need to focus on learning mechanics. Everything doesn't need to happen all at once.

Learning a fight is something different than learning a class. There are dummies to get used to any rotations and positionals and in like 80% of a fight you´re able to play both strictly down. For everything else you´ve true north, gapclosers, instacasts, whatever a class offers. And when we talk about SAM, you just have to reset a DoT every 60s. The rest is a self-runner while playing 123.

I've seen wipes that close too. It wasn't the positionals that changed it though. It was less people dieing, one person getting a more crisp rotation, one less person out of position, one less time the tank moved the boss slightly wrong. Absolutely the last thing you should worry about is the positionals on all but MNK. Not once have I ever heard any any stream I've seen progressing content, that it is positional that make the difference.

That ppl missplay mechanics is still no excuse to not to give your best. And to give your best includes to play positionals on melees as much as tanks shouldn´t play triangle with the boss or overall all players should use medigation skills. I can´t even count how many ppl i saved with the shared defs from tanks or the PLD carries, when you take all damage away from the healer, so he survives and can use LB3.

Everything can make a difference and will do a difference, even having a handful more Kenki for a backjump/dash combo instead of running out like a chicken. It´s a fact noone can deny.
