Actually both Grit and the oats are better than Defiance and in the end they are balanced.
When you activate Grit/shield you instantly acquire tank status, while on the other hand activating Defiance does nothing until you get healed not to mention that you get locked in it for 10 secs plus the fact that since now healing is done more with abilities the +20% healing received from magic is not as useful (not to mention that now you can't use unchained anymore because of Inner release)
If you make them OGCD you would simply unbalance them
