Dancer 6.0 Speculation

So outside of the physical ranged DPS damage as a whole being very low, Dancer is largely in an amazing spot with very few areas to complain about for those of us who enjoy the playstyle. There are a few areas that could use some improvement of course, like a way to extend the duration of Flourish buffs so that there's no fear of losing them during our burst window if we get too many Sabre Dance, but otherwise it doesn't feel like we need any major change to what we already have.

The question I have is where could we expand?

I have a strong feeling we'll be getting some kind of single target Sabre Dancer (Dancer Xenoglossy), but what about new elements toward gameplay?

Something I have been thinking about for aesthetics would be something like a Phoenix Dance that upgrades our Fan Dances from peacock feathers into phoenix feathers. I think the fiery dancer would be a cool aesthetic to have. As far as mechanics, I'd like to see that work in a way to give us a phase of guaranteed feather procs. Specifically, I'd like to see this be something we're doing halfway between one Technical Step and the next.

As it stands, we have a very heavy burst window every 2 minutes, but inbetween that can be a little slow at times, especially if you get some bad RNG with procs. Having some kind of mini burst that can somehow trigger between Technical Steps would feel better, I think, then just adding more to technical step burst windows, but that's just my opinion.

I'm curious what other dancers are interested in seeing happen with our kit.
