From the Ashes isn't bad. It effectively gives Phenexes extra health equal to half their current FP if they aren't inteferenced before being taken out. It only has such a long cooldown because it isn't really meant to be used more than once a fight. It's akin to a beefed up Die Hard. If you want to compare it to Last Chance, Last Chance costs you your ever valuable Claret Call on someone, and requires 2 Ghost SP, and can easily be bypassed by anything that deals damage in more than one instance (see: material proc, MG shells, etc). From the Ashes provides enough HP generally that you'll have to be dealing heavy damage afterwards to put them down for good.
Racial skills really shouldn't surpass skills a class gets anyways. Not every build hemmorages FP that quickly, and some just dont even use it to deal major damage beyond buffing themselves. The point of it is to act as a buffer in the event you -do- die before you get to use much of it, which it's perfect for, and as a racial that's plenty.
Revive is useful if you, for some reason, don't have any Sal Volatiles. I won't argue that it's good. It could afford to grant the 10% you lost to the target, then I'd say it's fine. So if you're hurting for item slots or are just really frugal, it's fine, but, as a revive it's pretty bad. All it has going for it is that Phenexes just get it innately, so as long as they have health they can revive a teammate.
