There's a good reason to use March at times. I will, by preference, use Victory March + Minuet IV in any party with multiple NIN/x or x/NIN where I don't trust the RDM to be on the ball on healing. Faster recast on Utsusemi means less pressure on RDM, which equals fewer deaths. The difference in damage output is minimal as far as I can tell, as the increased attack rate makes up for the somewhat lower damage per hit.

Caspian's probably hinting at RNG, March doesn't do jack for ranged attacks, so the complaint is somewhat valid and a lowered Utsusemi recast isn't what we're looking for.

Oh for RNG. Mmm.. in those situations where I still need March, I'll cast March, Minuet, than slap either Archer's Prelude or Herculean Etude on the RNG (his choice) to overwrite the March.
