Yes, well done, you understand the point of it being our utility. Which leads me back to my question: Would you rather not have it in that scenario, like the Black Mage?

Even though they shared the same skills, using Manashift was much more detrimental to their DPS and was really only available during their umbral phase again, because of DPS.
Bearing in mind that we have no MP recovery outside Lucid, and each Mana Shift consumes one of our rezzes, which is way more damage than one F4...
