I was just going over that part in particular and I find it odd. In World of Warcraft we call what he's talking about a "Global Cooldown", essentially some skills activate a global recast timer for all of your other skills... however only some skills trigger such a thing, so I find it odd if FFXIV were to go the route of ALL mp- and tp-related skills causing a global cooldown event.

I do agree with someone else who mentioned if your WHM is casting Raise every 3 seconds then you probably aren't winning anyway, however the ability to essentially SPAM mp-based skills doesn't necessarily sit well with me either, for example offensive spells. Stone and Stonera for example have two very different recast timers and this makes sense to me.. will they both now simply trigger a 3-second global cooldown? Not sure I like that, but it's a minor thing in the long run for me.
