Since we want to remove positional and tank stance, can we just remove healing too?

Rescue is pointless, it's impossible to get it off in time when it's needed, it's only ever used to troll. I've only ever had it used on me either, as I said, to troll by pulling me into harms way, or way too late to make a difference.

While it is indeed rare, 20ms ping plus quick reaction times means I've been able to pull some absolutely beautiful saves using Rescue. Now is my success rate high? Not really, and I do occasionally troll a friend or partner with it (anyone seen NEST and their shenanigans, nowadays I tend to go at my partner the most with it if trolling). But Rescue has been one of my preferred role actions since SB. Niche, but done properly it makes for an amazing skill.

Works fine if considered preemptively. Like every Emergency cooldown in this game, when the danger is manifest, it's too late. But use it as a scheduled KB-undo or uptime-keeper and it works just fine.

You're right in that it works great if considered pre-emptively, but with low ping and quick reaction times, you can see the danger unfolding, and quickly pull them in by studying the field. Although I guess you'd probably count that as pre-emptive. Whereas to me pre-emptive means you've already got it planned out exactly when you're going to use it. Whereas I use it to react to a situation that has started to unfold.

Sloppyyyyyy!

Sloppyyyyyy!

PUGs mean you have to be ready to react to a situation at a nanosecond's notice. That's more what I was focusing in on with that reacting side.
