It's still pretty useful, just not as zomg powerful as it used to be.
It's still the go-to finisher at low-MP levels in Astral 3, you can still do 2x/3xFlare on single target enemies for mad damage (Fire 3 is at 230 Potency, Flare is 260 and I don't believe you'll have Enochian up at all times.)
And other classes also got AoE potential in 3.0, SMN specifically.
