I don't really play my BLM (About as much as I play my SCH, PLD, MNK, SMN, or BRD, or will my DRG once it gets the last 5 levels), but you can't say BLM gets quite a lot of "instant casts" for thundercloud, and firestarter requires roughly a 2:1 cast to instant ratio. Casters are being punished for movement since SE has started to make less AoE that punished melee only (Which is good, IMO), the trick is finding a balance, and this buff (Which doesn't mean a damage % increase, by the way) is part of that. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave BLM a trait that reduced the cooldown of surecast to 15 seconds, and had it allow casting while moving.
