When spells are interrupted from an attack, it really hurts solo play the most. In an ideal party, the ranged casters shouldn't be getting hit much, but a solo caster is always going to get hit. Their magic is their only real means of attack. As such, a push-back system would work much better at penalizing players who neglect to use their shield spells, without completely destroying the potential of being able to solo effectively.
I think that would work along with the spell interruption rate, and allow CNJ and THM their own access to their own FFXIV-versions of Aquaveil.
