Eh, I guess Life of the Dragon is somewhat similar. Replacing an OGCD with a different OGCD for 30 seconds that refreshes quicker is a little different from the expectation of spamming a GCD for 8 seconds. Pressing available OGCDs as they come up is part of normal DRG rotation, it just gives you a different OGCD to press. Pressing the same GCD for 8 seconds isn't part of "normal" MCH rotation. I'll concede that it isn't completely different, though 1 or 2 other jobs still doesn't make it a common occurrence (Gnashing Fang could be considered similar I suppose)

From a programming aspect it is completely different, because the use of Geirskogul puts you into Life of the Dragon and then is replaced with the ability that can only be used in Life of the Dragon. It would be more difficult to program this with MCH unless you had 2 separate abilities (One that ate 50 heat gauge and put you into overheat and one that can only be used in overheat), unless you just make it "This ability costs 50 heat gauge and grants 'Overheat'" and have Overheat be "abilities that cost heat gauge are free for the duration".
