I've only played with my Chocobo up to Rank 4 thus far, but already some issues are arising. I've only put SP into the healer skill, but I've heard of issues with the tank one as well.
Choco Regen is terrible as it is. It's about on par with your natural health regeneration. If it had something like a damage taken reduction buff attached it'd be different, but as it is, a 25 potency heal over 18 seconds is pretty negligible. Choco Cure is double the potency total, at once, without a cast time.
Also, I don't see the point of the accuracy boost trait in the healer line because as far as I can tell, he will only use Choco Cure in healer stance... And thus doesn't auto attack.

I'd suggest just bumping up the Choco's natural accuracy, and putting something more fun in the 5th spot. Maybe something like "Guardian Stance+" and "Healer Stance+", decreasing damage taken and enmity generated or healing done and Choco Regen becomes AoE or something (with a Stance+ for offense too).
I feel it would help with the Tank chocobo's threat issues, while also make specializing feel more potent. -

Using a mount (any mount) should work like entering/exiting a major city. Fix that and I can live happily enough with the rest of it.
