It just feels clunky to have to through a DPS move or heal down first.
I actually find the AST system even worse than the SCH one, because you can still cast the ability out-of-combat---it just doesn't work. Imagine if scholar could cast aetherflow out-of-combat, and it incurred the sixty-second cooldown but just didn't give you any aetherflow. That's basically what astrologians are dealing with now.

And yes, I agree about the instinct thing. I lose like two seconds or more at the start of each fight trying to figure out why I can't cast excog. >.<
