Even in 7.1 BLM was already more mobile than RDM and had better access to that mobility on-demand. Combined with the fact that RDM constantly gets denied its melee combos in 6/7 if it's the sole caster, and we'll probably see a spike in BLM playrate that has little to do with the job and more to do with the encounters.
