What high PR/DR mobs are you talking about? I solo'ed extensively in Kunark and old world and never met one that I wanted to use JBB on. About the only use I found was killing low green cons, but that's not a terribly common situation and Iksar aren't really missing out at 60.

One problem with JBB compared to dots + canni is interrupts. You waste vastly more time on push interrupts spamming JBB than you do with canni + dots. JBB cast time (8s) is equal to the delay of a slowed mob, so a mob is guaranteed to get 1 round of attacks in per JBB click. Dots are 6s, meaning you can cast them in between mob melee rounds. Even a 30% interrupt rate (pretty reasonable in my experience) leads to JBB spam being 1/2 the dps of dots + canni.
