Not everyone runs in a static where those roles are guaranteed or the people playing them know how to supply you with MP when you need it.

And you forgot BLM, which to me shows all the more you're talking about a raid environment which despite a lot of buzz on the forums is still run by a minority of the playerbase.

And besides, the recast speed is the same.
Oh. Derp. Yeah I missed that part. I guess it never really mattered to me since I didn't feel the clipping so many people complained about, maybe due to latency (shrug).
