For open world content, I can somewhat see where you’re coming from, certainly in the case of specialized builds like LH eles, since they rely on their conjures regardless of content type. However, most other conjures are much more situational and actually benefit a coordinated party more when shared between players (OMG give frost bow for burrows plz!). It’s a matter of using specific skills off the conjured skill bar for specific tasks at hand, rather than spamming the auto attack, in which case you won’t need as many charges, since those specific skills are usually on cooldowns anyway.
When it comes to banners, they’re most useful and are mainly utilized in group content, much of which is instanced (i.e. dungeons, fractals). No random Joe Schmoe there, at least not one who can run off into the sunset with your banner.
If you allow only the creator of the banner access to the bundle object, you effectively limit the amount of banners you can bring from one encounter to another, to one – unless you have multiple players with the same profession.
And imho, there are precious few times outside of instanced gameplay where banners are of much use. Slotting a banner on your skill bar is usually a waste, for most open world content – as mentioned above in several posts, warriors get more out of slotting signets for solo play. As for Swiftness for you and your partners, bring a Warhorn on weapon swap, or just carry one in your inv. for use when traveling.
