A thousand times this. I think these cooldown timers perform a useful function in the game. Of the many things that I've done while waiting for the Ifrit cooldown timer to end: farm tapers, run back to repair my gear, grab sanction, food, whatever else that I might need, run a leve or two, craft, socialize with other party members, stand up and stretch my legs, check these forums, etc. It also ensures that my Benediction is always available for the next run.

Of course, this doesn't stop parties from doing Ifrit >> Moogle >> Garuda >> Gridania ad nauseum. Then the cooldown timers mean nothing.
