I would suggest bringing back skillchains from FFXI.

Mind you, I'm not one of those that advocates turning FFXIV into FFXI-2, but when you make a sequel porting over certain staples of the previous game isn't a bad thing, is it?
I think skillchains are one of those staples.

Their usage and execution was much more intuitive and immediate than Battle Regimes, they didn't require additional cumbersome steps, and they simply were the best balance possible between fun, simplicity and complexity.
I agree. I believe Skillchains are more flexible and allow each individual to participate in its execution in a strategic fashion. Not only does it require timely execution of specific WS and magic it rewards the players with a big BANG at the end. It's always impressive to see on screen your combined effort put to destructive use against your enemies.
