    There's a couple of candidates for button consolidation on current PLD I can think of;

    1: Combine FoF and Req
    Self explanatory, we're already double-weaving them as-is

    2: Replace Goring with Req
    Goring feels vestigial and boring, whereas Req begins a new phase in the rotation, they're already on the same timer and get used close together.

    In general though I just don't like how the blades combo works currently, I don't mind that they're big hits in succession, I just hate that it's all we use Req on. The magic phase in general is something I've always felt could do with a couple of tweaks since HS spam isn't all that interesting either, but current PLD just changes it from spam HS button to spam Confit button.

    I'd rather just revert to old PLD, the only thing jank about it in this meta was pre-pull FoF, which could be fixed by removing FoF and buffing the physical abilities to compensate. If it really needed more burst, then we redistribute potency to the magic phase.

    Anyway, I got thinking on "what if WHM had old PLD rotation?" and brainstormed something quickly:

    Stone: (RA combo)
    X potency, grants 1 stack of Thingy, up to a max of 3

    Aero: (Goring)
    Y potency over time, 18s

    Water: (Atonement)
    Z potency, requires and consumes 1 stack of Thingy

    Requiesdog:
    60s cooldown, XX potency, gives 5 stack of Updog

    Glare: (HS)
    YY potency, requires and consumes 1 stack of Updog

    Banish: (Confit)
    ZZ potency, consumes all remaining Updog stacks
    Combo: Tornado

    Tornado: (Blade 1)
    XXX potency, Y potency over time, 18s, can't stack with Aero
    Combo: Quake

    Quake: (Blade 2)
    YYY potency, grants 1 stack of Thingy
    Combo: Flood

    Flood: (Blade 3)
    ZZZ potency, grants 1 stack of Thingy
    (0)
