not exactly
stoneskin has 30min duration, which is why every (good) whitemage applies it to the whole group at the start of an instance and keeps it up as good as possible since it helps very much to prevent some random dmg to your group so you dont have to heal them on every single mistake one person makes. it also kind of increases max-hp permanent by 18% which helps migrating strong attacks.
thats why we keep this skill up as good as possible on the whole group, BUT with 3s casttime it takes forever to buff your party at key points (begin of instance, before/after bosses, ...), especially in an full party. and please tell me which random group waits that ~30 sec it takes to apply stoneskin to all before running streight at the boss.. right, nobody!
even the developers already gave in and said there will be some kind of aoe version, but most likely only outfight
