Making Surecast more useful?

So first I have to ask does anyone really use Surecast? because I myself don't, I never find the time to fit it in or it just doesn't seem useful in the situation.

So what if we made Surecast a bit different, make it a 10-15s long buff that makes it so that casters would be able to move WHILE they cast, this would make reviving someone with swiftcast on CD better because then you could dodge attacks and not have their revive canceled.

It'd help Summoners and Black Mages too, since they wouldn't potentially have to stop their DPS rotation in order to move around.

Of course with a 10-15s buff like that it'd have to have a balanced time for a cooldown, though i'm not sure if that'd fall into more the 60s range or higher

This is what Surecast should be. (This is a 1.0 ability. Bard sometimes cross-classed it, along with Sacred Prism (Increases cast time to convert next single-target healing or enhancing spell to affect multiple targets.) to turn it into raid-wide MP bounties.)

"Restores MP in proportion to damage taken. Casts cannot be interrupted while effect is active."

Funny thing. I made a suggestion that was virtually identical to this (without a specified duration) only 8 hours sooner in that thread.
