It's better to rely on your OGCDs instead and pretend the mechanic doesn't exist. That's not too good design now, is it? If they made it neutral you'd have a reason to go for it due to the movement, and in spite of what you're saying it wouldn't be constant movement since you'd still need to wait for the shield to break, as early refreshing and pepsis don't give you addersting. Plus if the shield never broke you'd still waste a GCD. The only time you'd use it with the current design would be if you ran out of OGCDs to use, and that's already an awful situation to be in.
Actually he was arguing against the idea making Toxikon DPS neutral, not describing an existing "issue" with it. I brought up how making it neutral would make Sage's gameplay far more fluid and fun, and he fears that if they did make it neutral, it would make Sage's spam barrier on the tank.
