Supressive fire's animation lock as a oGCD is a bit too long to acutally pull anything off, not to mention the use of a stun DR can be detrimental. Honestly, the two are effectively the same in what they accomplish against casters, except supressive is a poor choice when the melees (excluding nin, but they're practically on the same boat with the stun/silence), save for the very infrequent occasion where you need to stun down a chaser and you won't really need the stun DR for the next minute. I've actually had less success with getting BtE off through supressive fire due to the timing differences, and the offchance that you'd get LoS'd on your stun and you queue up for BtE instead.
