Making Grit/Shield Oath off GCD would mean that you could toggle it at almost any time for an instant 20% mitigation. With how scripted every fight is, that would be super strong. There needs to be a drawback to togglable mitigation, and losing a GCD is the drawback for PLD/DRK. WAR doesn't get healed for the HP it gains when you swap to Defiance, which is its drawback.

Opinions. I'd rather do that than be a meat shield that contributes nothing except being a striking dummy for the boss.
