In it's current state move-stop casting is made even worse by your characters
feet-shuffle upon stop. Your character has stopped moving forward - but has not stopped moving.
Your game mechanics are poor to support move-stop casting.
Furthermore, now the ranged casters have a double penalty.
You must stop to regen MP, AND stop to cast - and no, Bard is not always available to bridge this gap.
Put move casting back in, because the only thing you've accomplished with stop-cast
is more deaths, and gave Casters a double-penalty.
