Such an awesome ability... but I don't think they would have to do away with the current functionality, just add the functionality that if you don't have a friendly target it moves you forward 15y.... that way it can still be used 'as is' (and would arguably be better, as you could get up to 25y out of it), but would also be infinitely more useable in a great many other situations (inc. solo instances, hunts, fates, quests, and PUGs in general; i.e the 90%+ of this game that isn't Savage Raids).

As for the controller targeting thing, best I've found is:
/macroicon "Aetherial Manipulation"
/action "Aetherial Manipulation" <t>
/action "Aetherial Manipulation" <f>
/action "Aetherial Manipulation" <2>

So you can still manual target, or focus target, if you need to, but otherwise you just zip to the tank, which is generally good enough to avoid all those 'ranged killer' (e.g. cone, donut, etc.) aoes that SE has become so fond of.
