Blue potion spam isn't going to win you a fight.

If they were made single use they'd definitely need a buff. Any fight that drags on long enough for someone to break out the blue pots doesn't end at just one, and I'd rather not buff sustain tanks into being oppressive beyond all reason again. The moment running your opponent out of FP becomes viable against half the builds in game with no other pressure applied, you're going to see a lot 7m guarding builds with their own inherent healing and FP Regen.
TBH we're already seeing a lot of blue pot spam builds. This is mostly to rectify that while providing a corresponding buff so they aren't dog as hell.
There's some good builds right now that can blue spam from an advantageous position. This view is outdated for the current application of how blue pot spam is being used.
Thats not to say its the only example, but its the best example I may provide now.
I suggested the idea of making them grant more FP but have potion sickness applied to them. Granted FP economy arguably can be stronger than HP economy in a lot of cases, I'd not adjust them to be as large recovery as HP pots.
