You say you want this, but you don't want this. And upon reading your description of the whole standing still to do more damage thing, we really already have that. WM can be instantly turned on and off with only a short cd before turning off a second time, so plan your movement accordingly. Also feint is a skill if you are really concerned about double-weaving ogcd skills and don't have an ss proc!

I understand you don't like WM, but your pseudo-ley lines example wouldn't do much to change it other than eliminate a simple button press to turn off and on WM. As to the rest of your proposed changes, most of it is turning bard into machinist without wildfire. You can just play machinist, you know! I play both as well, especially since gear is shared now aside from weapons.
