Sure, I just don't see the point personally. But if you want to spend the time to save a minor amount of gil that's your choice. :P I'll be very surprised if grade IVs don't rain from the heavens by the time stormblood comes out, much like how common IIIs have always been.

A simple fix in my mind is drop the CP cost to 0 for the heart of delineations and crafters would use them. Heck since they are consumables, making them CP free would likely encourage folks to grind blue scrips for them further boosting the game encomony.
You only need 2 good procs for whistle to be worth it. If you couple it with makers mark, there is almost never a time when that doesn't happen, and in the once-in-a-blue-moon that that DOES happen you can just use a delineation, so whistle really isn't as bad as you think. But if you don't like using makers mark, I can understand not wanting to use whistle.
