Being a fresh 50 BLM, no CT or Coil experience with it, it just seems that most X-skills available to a BLM useless.

Hawk Eye - As far as I can tell, the increase in DEX helps shield use, but since most BiS BLM weapons are staffs, and if the tank and I both do our jobs with aggro and dodging, I shouldn't be getting hit. And it's not like 15% DEX increase is important to a class with naturally low DEX anyway; unless I'm missing something.

Quelling strikes - is that really needed for endgame? Can a BLM have the ability to pull aggro of a ilvl90 tank that knows what he's doing? I'd say it's good for dealing with a poor tank, but I'd make it a habit of not putting myself in a position with a bad tank.

Then there is Eye for an Eye, seems like a decent spell..maybe worth it.

I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth leveling another class, for a bunch of 'situational' skills that have no use either way.

am I selling myself short here?
