I agree with Crede, FD is still quite useful at lower levels.
In a duo situation where you have a melee class and a class that can bind themselves, the priority is to save the melee class if you want to reduce recovery time from a wipe. The reason for this is simple: If the Shaman dies, they just go back to their nearby bind point and quickly recover their corpse. If the melee class dies, they will have to run from the nearest city, which can be pretty far. By having FD on the melee class, the Shaman can prioritize making sure the SK gets a successful FD while they are wiping. Then the Shaman dies and just runs back a short distance from their bind point. The Shadowknight could also drag the Shaman's corpse if they are in a more dangerous area.
Lower level hunting spots have plenty of areas where you would not want to pull the whole room/camp, without risk of dying or having a long recovery time after. Having FD keeps the play session more consistent from a mana perspective, and safer from a pulling perspective.
