I have yet to experience what you describe; I've only seen BLM outdmg, as well as BRD, which is a support/dps class aswell.
And for every time you put up one of your dots, a BLM nukes the **** out of the target.
Comparing Flare to Fester, which is a CD based spell, that requires you to use another CD to unlock is just silly.
Not to mention that you have to spend at least 4 casts on reapplying your dots before they run out, or you lose dmg as well, in that time you won't do higher dmg, and in that window a BLM can cast both Flare and Fire III.
Again, I have yet to experience what you say, therefor I've hard time accepting your statement
