I'm going to go on an extreme here, and suggest that essentially, performing a Fusion SC would permanently give a bonus to Fire and Light damage for the remainder of the fight?

I think that the amount of time between WSs could be adjusted (perhaps), and that the duration of a Magic Burst window be extended, but certainly not for anything beyond 10-12 seconds. Otherwise, you're gonna have each BLM in a group single-handedly double-MBing Thunaja, Firaja, etc.... no, that'd be a little -too- much.

On the other hand, it would be interesting if new SCs (with these extended weakness times) required multiple SCs without an interim SC.
For example: Instead of WS1 -> WS2 (SC Lv1) -> WS3 (SC Lv2)
Or: WS1 -> WS2 (SC Lv2)
You could have: WS1 -> WS2 (Special Effect trigger without a SC) -> WS3 (SC Lv3 only if previous trigger is initated)
Or: You could require a certain SC to proc in order to remove a physica/magical barrier effect....

This however, complicates the DD coordination greatly, and with the current mechanics in place, zerg will continue to surpass SC/MB relevance.

You'd need some -serious- overhaul to SCs to change that.
