Don't these simply replace a once-per-minute obligatory weave with three per minute and no actual offensive/dump option?

If you have to use ED, regardless, it's already siphoning from your offensive ppm budget. In which all you've done is remove further MP / offensive potency options and sacrificed 2 weave slots per minute to do so.
