Should there be a toggle allowing the cast of Rescue on someone?

No.

The proper usage of Rescue is far more common than the trolling usage. And half the time when people THINK they are being trolled with Rescue, they aren't. They just don't understand the (valid) reason they were rescued and don't bother to ask, and instead come to complain here and on Reddit.

Considering how buggy it is, it can trap you in terrain and rarely has a valid use, I'm not sure about your point. But if you can tell me any valid reasons to use it where as a heal or simply the other person moving wouldn't suffice, I'd like to hear it. Even my FC healers know it's a practically useless skill due to uncontrollable delay and response, and simply use it when they are bored and want to do more so pull half the dungeon then rescue me into the pack to AoE tag them onto me.

Thank goodness it can only be used in combat at least.

Titania EX when someone screws up Phantom Rune, because they will most of the time run off the side. Granted, they should've moved ahead of time, but things happen.

When she spreads her wings, you move out, when she tucks them in, you move in. It's a tight timer ya, but simply looking tells you more then the AoE marker tells and before it shows.

And yet, people still screw it up, which is a valid place for Rescue to be used that can't be covered with more healing.

That's when you simply let then die. If they can't avoid the mechanics of the encounter, how can they contribute properly? Using Rescue won't help them most times anyway due to the lag it has, I've seen healers try and use it on encounters again and again, not realizing the person is already dead and they are just going to yank a corpse due to the odd delay it has.

Because nobody ever makes mistakes. Nobody ever has lag spikes. Letting someone who is otherwise contributing to the fight die is just stupid. Moreso when the tools to mitigate these circumstances exist.

I've rarely had issues with it, and I play with a ping of 150-180 ms. My static's healers, who play with between 110 and 140 ms pings, rarely have issues with it. It boils down to having the situational awareness and game sense to know when it'll be required, and/or should be used. If you're 'yanking a corpse', that's generally on the healer.
