What I'm worried about is how will they handle the action bar issue?

Shoehorning a new ability onto someone's bars doesn't work in every situation -- it may end up on Bar 2 or 3, a place normally hidden. How will a player be alerted that a Symbiosis ability has been granted to them? And how will they have quick access to it? Will macros or Power Auras be a requirement?

Something granted by Symbiosis will likely be an ability you'll want to use quickly, or at least tactically... the UI isn't really set up well for this. It can be done, sure, but not elegantly. Sounds like an idea that's awesome on paper and not altogether great in execution.
