(Then you have weird cases like Soothing Mists which I would love to see as a healing mechanic in this game.)
Most abilities that are part of your standard rotation activate it in FFXIV as well. Practically all of the non GCD abilities are identical in usage to WoW. Generally they have long cooldowns of at least 20 seconds. I see no difference really.
