There's also another disadvantage to FA that you should mention about.
The extra attack from FA also strikes at a speed so quickly that the mob doesn't get to recover from the KB animation, and doesn't KB the monster again, thus causing you to take possible bump damage. This is mostly noticable at Ghost Pirates/Dual GPs, a mob where you want to take as little bump damage as possible from. The only exception to the whole FA not KBing the monster again thing is, from my observations, if the FA is a slash when you're using a Slow (7) weapon without booster. (I'm not sure if this is also the case for a Normal weapon w/o booster, and also for Slow weapons with booster.)
