This. I use Rescue rarely. In the aftermath of Stuff Happening, I have often wished I used it less rarely. (Particularly when the end result is someone on the floor and whining that the healers aren't getting them up immediately so they can keep DPS'ing, when the healers in question don't presently have Swift up and mechanics may be incoming.)

And when playing DPS and going blind to a mechanic long enough that I realize "Crap, sprint won't get me to safety in time", there have certainly been times I wished I'd been Rescued out of my own DPS-focused haze into safety, rather than pelting like a maniac towards the safe spot only to die three steps away.
