Agreed, when a lot of the combat mechanics that we have now focus around placement. On the sides of a mob to avoid an attack or behind it etc. If the mob decides to move while we're in the middle of doing something..... oh we're sorry but you have to die because this animation is just so awesome you can't move!

Was honestly one of the things I did like about WoW is you could easily move (even if it meant canceling your actions) to get where you need to be for survivial.

I know in FFXI if you timed blinks at the right time you could accomplish this but FFXI didn't have as big a deal with the needing to be placed in certain spots as WoW or FFXIV does.

Would love to see the animations breakable or continue while moving.
