I think that 7.0 patches will see MSQ trials given Duty Support, so it is pretty likely that 7.0 trials will have it from the start. We should find out at Fan Fest later this month.

I agree that in Castrum Abania it changed because many people didn't know the mechanic and never figured it out, so they would take an extreme amount of damage that other people did not or the party would wipe.

If you look at all the changes over the course of this expansion, you will notice one thing about the most extensive changes, which is that they make mechanics intuitive (aka obvious). They want a new player to figure them out immediately, instead of still being confused after the fight is over and dying to things they don't understand.

We can argue they should read status effects, and that was SE's mindset in Heavensward and ARR, but it doesn't seem to be anymore.
