Can't not add features just because a few people might troll with it. Just like vote abandon spam or readycheck spam etc. People will troll with it for a little while, but they'll eventually get bored and stop. I honestly can't remember the last time someone trolled me with the WoW or swtor equivalent of Rescue. Either way, I guess they could add an option to block the skill just in case.

@OP: I have similar concerns. Needing to use cross-role slots to use abilities we were previously provided by the class seems like a nerf to me.
