The problem is that even though FA is faster it's also slightly weaker and not for you to control. It might also be PS -> PS -> PS (monster dead) -> yay FA hits the air!
It also seems to be working somewhat strange on bigger mobs when using SB...
Alright the reason that White Knights and Crusaders put points in FA is because it is faster and doesn't cost mp. Although it is slightly weaker (does 10% less damage then PS when activated from PS) the fact that it can hit the enemy in less time makes up for that slight damage loss.
Knowing when it will activate isn't as important as actually having it. Since it is a faster attack, if it misses you can recover that much faster then if you used PS or SB.
Lastly, Crusaders find FA to be a necessity so they can charge their orbs faster, while White Knights on the other hand use it simply for the reasons stated above. Dragon Knights do not need it because they get Crusher and Fury in 3rd job.
The reason it is one of the best skills for Fighters and Pages to put their points into is because the rest of the skills they would points into besides FA are considerably useless (such as Hp Recovery and Iron Body).
