/pause n, /attack off
/pause n, /doability #fd
/consider

Makes a good start to a fd macro for monk. Obviously lacks the functionality of greying out with reuse timer. I wonder whether it is possible to add that with custom UI.
If I understand what you are saying, you are correct that Necromancers do not have riposte. For SK's, you can riposte right when you finish casting the FD spell, just like you can attack right after you finish casting the FD spell. The point is simply that there are FD fail cases out of the player's control, and thus Toxigen's argument of "FD failure without a message can only be caused by the player" is false.

As you point out, FD has a cast time. This means you can land FD right when a mob starts casting a spell as well, before you have time to cancel FD. This is also out of the player's control, but the result is an FD failure without a message once the spell lands.
