Ok, I've been working around this idea in my head and hinted on it with a few of my whm posts a while back in terms of mages DD like a melee. After getting to page 5 on The BLM Problem I've thought of these things to possibly consider.
Complete Skillchain Instacast
Where as a mage main job would upon ws opening/closing a sc then when its successfully closed they be able to instant cast while the window is open cast a MB on the target mob. When this option is open they'll get a little /echo message saying insta-burst ready and/or a status icon similar to a magic buff up.
PreSC bonus
In which if a player casts a spell of a certian element and another ws to follow it matches the element/sc its apart of, the ws from that and the sc will recieve a boost in dmg.
Defense Magic Negator
Maybe add some sort of jobtrait that would link a mobs defense compared to the caster in a way where casting time and magic acc/dmg in terms lower the def, faster and less resistant the spell will be.
