I can see where you're coming from, and I do agree that it being tied to the BG forces you to only use it as a gap closer (outside of IR). I think the problem, however, is that it adds absolutely nothing to the BG itself. How is the BG otherwise defined? Damage abilities. This ability leads to damage, but it would lead to damage if it was off the BG too. My suggestion of "take it off the BG" might've been too black and white as it just puts it in the same clunky spot as the other tank gap closers. However, this is easily remedied by just removing the damage aspect of these abilities. People won't spam them for damage if they don't do damage. I don't even know why a movement utility skill needs to do damage to begin with - you don't see En Avant, Shukuchi, etc. doing damage.
