I must say that in all the time I've been playing, I've -personally- not seen many MAs that aren't Monks. Actually from what I've seen, the most commonly played MA promos go Monk > Boxer > Verglas, the last one being the most uncommon from the three I've listed in my experience.
From what I've understood it's mainly due to the FP costs. Monk has a skill with FP regen, and so does Boxer (albeit not as good as the former) but Verglas doesn't have anything like that, unless you're taking the base class's Meditate into account. And even then it's a very slow regen for a promo that burns FP like mad.
I guess you could argue 'just pair up Verglas with Evoker main class for Absorb Power' but if you -need- another class to make one reliably function... well, I don't think that's very fun, is it?
So I'd say changing the FP costs to something lower is fine, even for the other promos. But I think Verglas needs it the most.
