I think with MB's new 90% activation rate, it's too good to pass up. Before that change was made, I had planned on skipping out on maxing it, but now I can't imagine that.
One thing I just can't rationalize is wasting precious skill points on something that can be easily obtained by careful choice in equipment. For example, shell out a bit of extra money for the metus or Dark arund. Use speed pills. Party with a hermit. Hop on the mount. Really I can't see why anyone would want to have no choice in their speed. There are some areas where having extra speed can hamper your movement (Aqua and Nath come to mind, though you can certainly adjust.)
I also can't see passing up on what is essentially our only elemental skill. There's always the possibility that some amazing fire-weak area may arise (Time Temple's ice zone, perhaps?) and not having it would leave you ill-prepared.
