Blue for boss situations... it's not like you're going to be using reaper on a boss. 20% status/elemental resistance vs. a buff you won't be casting is what it comes down to. As for the extended time on drain vs. blue aura, I just don't see the argument there. The damage lost by having to cast drain a handful of extra times is insignificant (even more so on bosses which dispel). And @ the above... your whole point is "if you're not a serious bosser," yet it's very common now post-BB to single party the "non-serious" bosses (it was pre-bb anyways)... it wouldn't be inconceivable to have a single party, 3 of which are battle mages. The only time where multiple parties are guaranteed are the serious fights which you won't be participating in. When it comes down to it, you're not really gaining much by skipping the blue aura skillset. Noticeable survivability increase > slightly longer buff duration.
I am arguing Adv Blue is not really required for boss situation (not sure about PB and HT) and close to no useless in normal training. Why would you put SP on a skill which u hardly use, I would rather use SPs on other skills which I use more often.
