Think of the roles you want to play in a group, and your class abilities like tools in a toolbox. If there is too much overlap in the function of your tools you will quickly become unhappy at the lack of versatility of your toolbox.
The abilities you listed are very different from each other. It would have been one thing if you said that MRD's Foresight is like PUG's Featherfoot or that GLA's Phalanx is like MRD's Fracture and PUG's Haymaker but you didn't and even then their different and serve to further round out a playstyle if you decide to apply all three to your class at the time.
