The point is and always has been the MP recovery. Being able to throw it on the tank has great benefit, as the tank usually gets hit repeatedly and heavily, allowing it to make effective use of a recovery rate that is as low as 30% damage taken. The Moogle fight is a solid example of this.

The MP regen song is great and all, but it's going to be a regen. A well-placed Sanguine Rite can lead to immediate and/or very quick MP gain.

The best part? I'm pretty sure both the MP song buff and Sanguine Rite will stack.
