I completely understand the roundabout rules which say to enter and exit the 3rd right turn from the inside lane, but staying in that inside lane as you are exiting according to these rules means that it will take you in the path of the outside lane to exit. If someone is in the outside lane (possibly in your blind spot) and is not exiting the roundabout until the next exit, you are in danger of a collision despite the fact that both drivers are "following the rules". Ergo....use your signal and hold your breath. Better yet....never go inside lane for any reason.
