While I enjoyed (the general idea behind) those MP management aspects, wouldn't this roughly amount to the old Riddle of Fire controversy? You'd essentially be reducing apm, through MP-spender casts, in favor of a flat damage buff into which all your oGCDs bankable to every n seconds (Darkside's cooldown) must be fit. The only "fun" part, so far as I can guess would be to not bottom out early on MP despite trying to maximize damage buff multiplicity alongside raid buffs.

On paper, that's... cool(?), I guess. But in practice? MP no longer equates to our capacity to deal any AoE whatsoever (or significant self-healing or full-value mitigation, etc.) and we no longer have the Darkside toggle to actually play around that mechanic over downtime. As a burst CD alone, would it even really remain "MP management"?
