Make Stoneskin 2 instant cast

All together: The reason Stoneskin 2 has a 6 second casting time, is because SE don't want people to use it everytime?

Right. This way, you only cast it when you're willing to invest 6s or a swiftcast to get the buffs up. In a raid this is a no-brainer.. you'd have spent the 24s to spam everyone with buffs anyway. In a dungeon you're chain pulling you probably won't bother. Result is a quality of life improvement without a fundamental change to how the spell is used.

Ok fair enough, how do you account for the tons of healers pre-Stoneskin before all the mobs are dead, and the tons of healers just cast it raw even though Swiftcast is up? Would you say this ideal is working well in practice?

I would respond that asking a loaded question is in poor taste and then refuse to answer because of it.
