Too early to tell but I'm placing my bets on it.
It's not too early. Dawntrail is continuing most of the trends Endwalker created. Highly reactive boss design, extremely tight mechanics that don't play nicely with ping (especially orb mechanics...) that occasionally fire out of order. And, oh yeah, the devs giving everyone with a cast bar the middle finger.

It seems they want mDPS to be stronger than rDPS and cDPS, and they're designing fights that will give even Samurais and Reapers pause. So, yeah, meleetrail. Screw casters and cater to melee, the expansion, version 2.0.
