How so? I find it slightly more effective when it comes to raising a combination of Mist/Explosion and Amp than maxing Explosion/Mist and then raising Amp afterwards.
Also, a combo of mist and explo is good if you want variety in training places. Not everyone goes for the most straight-forward builds, that's why I put those as options.
Edit: as for the alternation of skills in the fourth job builds, I think it either wouldn't make sense to not alternate (for things like Big Bang, and Meteor having a great affect on Mist Eruption's damage; or the skills are alternated to increase damage as with Buff Mastery and attacking skills).
I've tweaked one of the third job builds because I think you're partially correct though.
