It's easy to say something is part of uptime skills, but unless the BLM is very lucky and doesn't get targeted by anything and it's quite likely their rotation could go out of the window. You may have little point at that stage to Swift or Triplecast your spells (use Scathe and other processes) to keep up the attacks whilst dodging to the mechs.
I don't think anyone was implying BLM lacked INSTANT casts, what most people were explaining was that BLM is stuck on the GCD. You know, the recast time of 2.5s, which changes depending on speed?

This feels like a slight distraction from the points being brought up about the BLM's reliance on the GCD. And you're probably not playing BLM the best you can if you're rotation is screwing up.
