The cooldown for the abilities would determine the rate that they triggger, and naturally if you don't have enough Stamina, MP, HP, or TP to pay the cost the ability will not trigger.

Those who do not want to use it, do not have to use it. Those that do, can.
This is like the best possible solution and I will add if it can be mapped to buttons or macros it will make trying to chat in the middle of combat a lot easier. Instead of having to go into menu and config to toggle it off and on.
