Sanrenzan doesn't give a major boost, Hikarasu is only useful for dragging in mobs/pulling of sweet techniques, and Senpuu no Yaiba isn't exactly the best skill in your arsenal, with its cool down. Kurenai Jabaku is pretty worthless in 3rd job unless you fight bosses.
If the proc rate for Yanagi was far higher than what it is I could see it being worthwhile to level up sooner, but it rarely procs let alone stacks. It procs so rarely that the buff effect is completely negligible.
At least when I'm leveling up my main attacking skills I know the damage increase is reliable and not something that'll show up once in a blue moon. Yanagi is a skill that sounds good in theory but doesn't do any good when actually in-game. Why put a skill that you hardly ever see used over skills you actually use all the time and actually help you? ''Hikarasu is only useful for dragging in mobs''... Hikarasu is hands down one of Hayato's best attacks at this point in the game. (Can't speak for 4th Job) It's part of his ''ultimate'' combo; the same few attacks you spam during training.
Even if leveling up certain attack skills don't add much attack, that's a hell of a lot more than you'll get from Yanagi. Yanagi just isn't worth leveling until second-to-last or last, because before that point you won't get any use out of it at all. I know I sure as hell haven't noticed that piece of pomegranate and I'm Lv107 so far. If you got more use out of it at Masters then that proves my point: Save it till later; you get nothing out of it before then.
It's pretty basic: ''Level this skill that's never seen, or level these skills that are used constantly?''
