Slashing would only qualify as utility if the other jobs that can put theirs up lose something in exchange, like 3.X WAR vs NIN. NOW, in all three classes that have it, their required to put it up for their own personal dps(Sen, Storm's and DoTs respectively). Compound this with the fact that any good SAM won't put the slashing debuff up till nearly the 10th GCD and... yeah. SAM needs to have a high personal dps to balance out vs NIN's TA. Sorry, Trick is the counter to any equally good SAM.
