Plus Esteem uses it where it would use Plunge before.
Understandable. It's just odd because we have not one but multiple jobs with an alternate dash or more that is also an active burst or damage tool.

Dragoon still has Dragonfire Dive and Star Diver (the latter having a bit of nasty animation lock tho), Warrior gets to retain Primal Rend with a gapclosing effect along with keeping Onslaught. Ninja most likely will retain both Raiju actions along with Shukuchi, Samurai still probably has the potency-per-gauge neutral Hissatsu: Gyoten.

I simply find it bollocks that Plunge could not be repurposed in some fun way while keeping it along with the new Shadowstep when many othwr jobs have such mechanics.
