You don't need to time it for "use" as a movement tool, but it exists for that option if you know a fight's timeline. The job is already by far the easiest DPS job, it doesn't need to be made any easier.
It's not that if you remove the animation lock from the dash you make smn easier, also because it's impossible to make it easier than now lol. It is an obligatory dash for its own sake, it brings nothing but its obligatory nature. It was only added because the smn was the only caster that didn't have a dash and it was added in a hurry. It would have been nice to have, for example, the dash on the position of the carbuncle, you made it more interesting and above all you didn't make it mandatory but an option. Currently it was put just to have the dash, implemented in a loose way to make it more of a nuisance than anything else.
