Just give me back my note procs from dot ticks on Bard. It was a reward for actually keeping your dots active and why you had iron jaws as it basically was 1 click instead of 2 for reapplying your dots. Now stormbite and caustic bite and iron jaws just exist for the sake of only damage and not something that flows back into the rest of the job.

Black Mage is technically worse in this regard, as while it hasn't lost anything, it hasn't gained anything either. Thundercloud and Thunder 2 by themselves are not bad, they are actually good damage, but there is nothing about the rest of the job where Thunder flows back into the rest of the job. Its basically tripled down on the fire/ice motif while giving thunder nothing new since its ARR days.

Sage having the novel concept of putting a dot on a target with eukrasian dosis and having the dot act as a hot for whoever has kardion is great. It does something simple yet new as its serving two purposes. Oh and whats this, soteria, it grants 4 stacks and increases the heal potency by 70% to for kardion effects. Which while not going to be fully utilized by it as you have dosis and other spells that also damage and heal the kardion patient, but it does mean eukrasian dosis hot procs basically heal for an extra 70% for the next 1 to 4 ticks. Which as a healer means it flows back into keeping someone like the main tank or even yourself alive.

And thats not touching on old summoner and how it got so much right about what being a dot-mage meant. I'm not sad of what summoner has turned into, I am sad we didn't get a new job to scratch that itch for a job focused on dots.
