Not using it during a Divination window means that you end up hurting your party members by being unable to throw out enough buffs during the time period due to having to double weave Draw and Minor Arcana between GCDs to Play Lords/Ladies while Divination is active.

I kind of have to disagree and agree on this one. It's "optimal" for DPS when you can be a turret. Real, optimal use depends on fight, phase, skill of all the party members, etc. Construct 8 phase 2's laser rotation? Lightspeed and Sprint are both getting blown, because otherwise most of my party will be dead. And as another has as a sigline, dead DPS do no damage.

I understand that I'm kind of restating what was said, but it's to call bullshit on the "you can no longer use it for periods of heavy movement, MP conservation, or when you really need to get those heals off fast" part. If I can use it for buffs great, but those are like Job 3. Job 1 is "Prevent floor tanking".
