Did they mention giving BLM even more triple/swifts in 7.2? AFAIK, no words has been said about that at all. Although the implication of reducing Fire IV cast time to 2.00s does means that Triple/Swift usage on Fire IVs will no longer result in DPS gains. Which means they are there solely for mobility option than serving dual purpose like they currently do.

There's a term to address these sub-type: the Meta Slaves.

Taking an example of what I just replied a paragraph prior:
- Triple/Swift is an option to deal with movement requirements while also serving as a DPS gain tool if the BLM wishes to go for it.
- Triple/Swift is now solely a mobility tool. There is no more consideration needed to be given.
God forbid people have to actually think about anything else besides 'MuH dPs/BarSe!!', we can't have that! Option two is way to go!! ... is what I'd advocate if I'm a meta slave.

Yuck. Just yuck.
