    With Ifrit you rarely have to move and cast as it is, sure its a nice feature to have for say healing while running back from an eruption but really I haven't found that I needed it to win, I could easily wait tell I'm in place to heal or wait for the cast to finish before getting back in place. In fact moving to cancel I think will make the fight much easier so long as there is no delay like there is when currently trying to cancel a spell probably 99% of the time I get caught in an eruption is because of having to heal and an eruption poping (and yes I know when and when not to heal but sometimes you just have to).

    From a tank perspective, I need to be aware of my healer's situation... so I see an eruption under my healers feet, I pop my "ocrap" rotation and self heal my way through it. That's right, it makes the tank's job harder, but I'm up for a challenge.

    This is really how you have to go about it, the tank has to help the healers out too. You have more than enough time to Resonance > Cura and run back if you've ran from an Eruption even if your tank doesn't save sentinel for Eruptions on mages. Hell you usually don't even need Resonance and have enough time to get within normal casting distance. I've been practicing by standing still for Ifrit now whenever I cast and have had absolutely no problems at all. If they can implement movement interrupting casting and make it work well most people would have much less issues staying alive in the fight.

    I think that more teamwork involved in a group should make this issue less relevant. I personally pop a heal off on a healer when they are hit due to the fact an eruption showed up underneath them when they were casting. Being able to move right now doesn't really help out anyway. I can only imagine how much harder Moogle will be after the memento phase... yeeesh!
