Imagine you had a utility skill on your job. It can be really useful in some situations, but it takes a while to go off and the timing is wonky. As a result, to ensure it works you pretty much need to stop DPSing for a GCD or two. And when you do use it, you need to react fast because of that timing issue.

Now imagine that in addition, sometimes the skill just... doesn't work. You click the button and it makes the "whonk" error noise. But you never know when that'll happen! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, seemingly at the whim of the universe.

How often would you use that skill, versus just writing it off and continuing to DPS?

That toggle is "the seemingly random whim of the universe" in the scenario.

I can see both sides of the argument—and like I said, I'm willing to be convinced otherwise and to discuss if it's a good mechanic overall for fostering a less-hostile environment when it comes to people trolling with Rescue or Provoke/Shirk or whatever—but it's why I personally would just write Rescue off entirely and remove it from the bar.
