Default Magic Casting Speed Bonus?

Currently leveling a blue BLM Imp for drain spam and wondering if this is needed for that purpose?
I assume magic casting speed decreases the time it takes the spell to be cast as well as lowering recast timers - but
the question is: do pankration monsters have a recast timer at all? and if they do/don't will casting speed bonus help this?

My DRK mob would cast Drain every round, when he was in the mood. As far as I could tell, there was no recast timer.

Hmmmm ok, thanks! that's 30 saved FP then...

Any suggestion on lowering it's aggressiveness to get to defensive so it can start draining >.>
I keep spamming Guard ! Block ! Parry ! as many times as I can per fight and it lowers a tic about every 5 fights or more,
going to take until ~LV 30 before it'll start draining at that rate

That's what I did. It takes time, but the low levels really don't matter all that much, they're just for getting good XP and setting things up the way you want.
