I agree with you completely.

For an extra 300-ish damage at such a high cost, the opener can be sometimes taxing and not worth it. I tend to do it in dungeons for the fun of it mainly, I could not see this being as effective in Coil. You may need the swiftcast for a rez or something later on!

But either way, being all fancy and flashy on a dungeon boss can be fun.
