Almost crippling in some cases (xenon, paladin) where you have to sit around for at least 10-20 seconds buffing. Some classes only have like 4 buffs (cannoneers excluding buckshot since it's no delay, i think corsairs) so they can get back to the fight really quickly after death.
The movement thing really just comes down to strategy. You can't just go in and buff like it's no problem anymore, just like you can't go in and have 0 risk of death anymore like in the old days when everyone complained that bossing is all just sit and spam.
The duration bit is just mostly me being lazy its more of a convenience thing. But being able to move while buffing is fabulous, and the idea of "YOU GET TO CHOOSE WHEN YOU CAN BE A SITTING DUCK!" does not sound like fun strategy making at all. I didn't consider cooldown buffs as part of my 'most buffs' list,
I guess the amount of times I've been 1hko'd by a fast meteorite in Magnus, just from casting ONE BUFF (void) is too damn high.
