If they hadn't messed the MP generation up and allowed the new gap closer to work on allies I'd probably like these changes but I'm currently very whatever on them.
Wouldn't mind seeing...
  • an on-ally-only gapcloser with a single attack (and lingering second)'s redirection for PLD (simple CD, with CD ignorable via gauge cost),
  • a damaging and on-enemy-only gapcloser for WAR (gauge-spending, shorter recharge) and GNB (simple charges),
    and
  • an on-enemy-or-ally teleport (shadow-shift, likely single charge with Unmend allowing another use with stacked recharge times and all magic damage/shadowy skills granting it CDR) for DRK.

But... I would be worried about giving every tank the best of all worlds movement skills, and of all, PLD seems to me to most deserve the "to ally" functionality (as per "Intervene", though one could also argue that should be to-enemy with inbuilt flat damage suppression onto next attack, divided if AoE). Even GNB would likely deserve it more than DRK, given GNB's bodyguard theme. Hmm.
