If you're dependent on the GCD highlights to show up to guide your decision-making, then you're probably not the sort of player who is going to be capable of taking this job into Savage content anyways. MNK uses those highlights as well now, but at least you can argue that players can see and plan their next three GCDs highlighted in advance. With VPR you're much better off learning the buff icons and knowing which 'mudra combos' access which.

Also worth noting that all melee job rotations are predetermined, and the primary focus is on execution. You'll generally be able to list out the entire GCD sequence of fights that you've practiced enough.
