Problem is really that the more important buffs go down together. Enspell, Haste, Temper, Phalanx and Spikes all have the same duration. The reason I like renew so much is because it would solve that problem with ease, as it is a self buff that resets the duration of buffs on you. I would obviously tweak it (have it not affect Blink, Stoneskin, Protect, Shell, Reraise for one), but it would certainly make the prep period we need to buff up less of a hinderance in terms of upkeep.
