If there are plans to have more fights like Titan, that are high-movement, please give black mage the ability to run again while casting.
I think a good way to balance this out is, it's only PvE. Because the original reason it was taken out was for PvP, yet has it's own rules. So why can it be reintroduced?
Maybe -20% on the spell damage if you move while running.
Make jump the way to cancel a spell.
Whilst I share your sentiments, to introduce this solely for the BLM would open up the proverbial can of worms. Healers then would also want this ability and so on.
With the exception of the Bard (which I will never understand why their skills are instant) all the caster classes are inducted. This has always been the trade-off in the majority of MMO's for ranged vs melee.
In no way am I telling you how to play your class but I guess in movement heavy fights you just have to better manage your rotation and skills (easier said than done of course).
I often cancel early when I know Weight of the Land, so I can try to avoid it. Though often enough it never works.
There was already an idea discussed about giving the THM/BLM a trait that allows them to move while casting, while under the influence of Surecast. This sounds like the most realistic and best way to go about this approach really, besides that....hmm not so much.
