Its buffs can benefit anyone in the party, plus MP regen as it stands is quite useless for current AST. I'd rather use it on someone who just died and got rezzed with 0 MP (thinking about co-healers specifically).
Eh, the biggest issue with this concept is that game has ultimately evolved to revolve around specific burst windows which Haste can actually screw with more than help. Most DPS would rather you not give that to them, and the MP boost would largely go to waste on the DPS as well. RDM and SMN might appreciate it after a raise or if the RDM is raising a lot in a scrambling party, but otherwise you might end up doing more harm than good.

I think it's a clever ability in some ways, but I feel like it would've made more sense to have the buffs associated with specific seals rather than just collecting one of each. That way you could, at times, benefit from 3 solar seals or something like that. You'd need to replace the Haste effect with something else because then it would just be seen as a major DPS boost to stack 3 Haste seals, but I think conceptually this would feel more interesting for AST.
