Black Mage has a well-deserved reputation for being the least mobile caster in FFXIV, but with a bit of forward planning (and if you don't mind being completely out of movement options afterwards) you can extend the class' free movement time to well over 30 seconds - an entire fire phase plus High Thunder and two Xenoglossy charges - during which time you never have to stop moving if you don't want to? Which is insane?

Normal, castbar-having Fire 3. Weave Triplecast in the gap, then start running.
The rest is instants:
Three Fire 4 casts, plus either Thunder or Xenoglossy.
Paradox, weave Triplecast again since Paradox is instant anyways and you got time.
Three more F4 casts, plus whichever of Thunder or Xenoglossy you didn't already use.
Fire 3 (instant, thanks to the free Firestarter from Paradox).
Xenoglossy.
Optionally, Power Amplifier plus another Xenoglossy. 1/2

2/2
Foul, weave Swiftcast.
Flare Star.
That's 13 GCDs. 14 if you had Power Amplifier off cooldown in time to use it. At a 2.38s spell speed, that works out to either 31 or 33 seconds of instant-cast spells and "free" movement, and it even slightly increases DPS over the normal rotation by accelerating Fire 4.

Of course, you're stuck to the floor afterwards, as your only subsequent movement options are going to be Paradox, High Thunder, Foul, or (ick) Scathe, until Swiftcast comes off of cooldown again, or until your next Xenoglossy tick.
