Ninth life, appropriately named, is quite niche, and if you're taking in by default in a raiding environment, you're incredibly dumb and don't understand the difference between the 2.
I do agree they are mandatory, however. but the flexibility is nice to have, although I'd rather have a glyph to change how SI works, kinda like the warlock glyphs.
