Egg shaped has no cast time, meaning you can spam it over and over to remove all of a players buffs and there's nothing they can do about it. See a bard outdoors? Remove all his buffs then click it once every 3 seconds when selos refreshes and melee him down. Pretty awesome when rogues who know what they're doing will kick the ass of bards in outdoor zones amirite? Very popular with brain dead morons.
Crystalized has a 3 second cast time. This still gives you the option of dispelling dots on yourself and allows you to dispell players, but is somewhat counterable should you go through the effort of getting instant cast junk buffs. There's also several more complexities that are added in via pumice/buff management and intelligent play that stems from using these that rewards good players and punishes bad ones (Lachius, Darksinga).
