20% reduction for 15s on a single target isn't going to make or break a DPS check, period. Especially since you can't RELY on them drawing it enough times for it to actually matter.
Alexander is NOT a real end-game raid. It is an entry-level raid designed to allow people to gear up for savage and progress the story. Go back to the coils and ask progression groups on Day 1 how hard it was to manage MP and TP until they started getting better gear. There is a reason BRD has almost always been brought to raids.

It might not make or break a DPS check, but it will take pressure off your DPS and allow them to perform better. You get 8 Draws in the 4 minutes it takes them to TP out; you are likely to get at least one Spire or Ewer in there, and I'm highly suspicious most of the people complaining about AST MP management being awful are people who RR an Ewer until they are almost out of MP.
