Some things I do not like.

I disagree. Simplification doesn't necessarily equate to "dumbing it down." That terms is also a little demeaning. I'm not dumb. I just have certain physical limitations. Another caveat here is that not everyone plays for a challenge. While some do find challenge fun, others don't.

I think this is exactly the point the poster you were responding to was trying to make. Different people have different interests and different abilities. As long as there are likewise different classes with different complexities that can appeal to the variety of players, you have a solid setup. It doesn't mean every single class should somehow manage to work for every single player. Take your own particular style of play, abilities, and shortcomings - look at the classes, test them out as you like - and see which particular classes suit you best.

You lost me after using shift and ctrl. That's already too much.

I'm genuinely curious about this comment, because a few posts later you mention playing WoW and setting up your abilities on 1-5 and F1-F5. It's the same exact idea, just instead of F1-F5, the second set of abilities is bound to Shift+1 to Shift+5.

Also, I'm a little hesitant to mix casting with melee. My reaction time, as you might image, is pretty bad. I like long range, so I can see more of the field and react a little better. Still die a lot, but that can't be helped.

There's very little melee w/ RDM. It's one specific combo you can use every so often after building up resources. The rest of the time you're a ranged caster. I think it's confusion with the person you were responding to...when she mentioned "melee", she was talking about actual pure-melee classes and suggesting to avoid those.
