For OP's sake, I'll chime in one last time. It's the long casting time on the BE stuff that makes it less appealing when doing more challenging content at 60. 5 second snares and 3 second FDs are rough. You can still work it in, but you're getting a lot less value than when grinding lower level mobs as fast as possible. Certain persons haven't graduated from the grinding blues so they are obsessed with it. You'll have to weigh your BE FOMO against your Iksar FOMO and decided what you can live with.
Since you said you come from a min/max background, you should know the Min/Max is to not play an SK main (Warrior, Monk, Necro can be a good substitute depending on what you wanna do). To actually get the raid gear, you're gonna be relentlessly clowned on as an SK and asked to switch to a cleric often. If you're a good enough player or a "locker room" guy you can mitigate this somewhat.
If you're interested in what end game SK stuff is like feel free to DM me.
