You Better Jump... Jump! (Destiny)

Getting around in Bungie games is usually a fun experience and that is certainly no different in Destiny. Vertical movement modes like Lift, Double Jump, Glide and the very sought after Blink have become integral parts of making the PVE and PVP experiences fast-paced and fun. Do you have a favourite already? Is there something you're interested in trying? Here's a refresher on the many jumps of Destiny:
Striker and Defender
Lift: Jump and press [Jump again] while in the air to activate Lift.
Increased Height: Upgrades Lift to travel to greater heights.
Increased Control: Upgrades Lift for better directional control while in the air.
Catapult: Upgrades Lift to provide a strong initial burst of momentum.
Gunslinger
Double Jump: Jump a second time after leaving the ground.
Better Control: Upgrades Double Jump for better directional control while in the air.
Triple Jump: Upgrades Double Jump with a third jump.
Higher Jump: Upgrades Double Jump for even greater height.
Bladedancer
Double Jump: Jump a second time after leaving the ground.
Higher Jump: Upgrades Double Jump for even greater height.
Better Control: Upgrades Double Jump for better directional control while in the air.
Blink: A short distance teleport that replaces Double Jump.
Voidwalker
Glide: Double jump in mid-air to activate glide.
Focused Control: Upgrades Glide for better directional control while in mid-air.
Focused Burst: Upgrades Glide to provide an initial burst of speed.
Blink: A short distance teleport that replaces Glide.
Sunsinger
Glide: Double jump in mid-air to activate glide.
Focused Control: Upgrades Glide for better directional control while in mid-air.
Focused Burst: Upgrades Glide to provide an initial burst of speed.
Balanced Glide: Upgrades Glide to provide bonuses to both speed and control.
For Titan, I'm more interested in control than the initial burst of momentum. For Gunslinger, I think the Triple Jump would be more useful in getting around the map easily. I'm definitely interested in Blink, but we'll have to wait and see how it works.
How are you moving up in the world of Destiny?

I played with the Titan and I enjoyed the Lift because it reminded me of the jetpack from Halo 4. I thought the Jetpack from Halo 4 was an improvement over the one from REACH, specifically because it is more maneuverable.
So on that note, I would also like more maneuverability from the Titan lift. I feel like it puts you at a rough disadvantage if you get jumped on while using it. Some control (like a sudden drop or dash sideways) would be nice. However, I like it even without those additions.

I really love double jump because it's so quick. I've survived a lot of situations (especially in PvP) that I couldn't escape with Glide and Lift.
I am really interested in Blink though. It does make me pause to think that it'll replace my double jump, but we'll have to wait and see how much height you gain/maintain with blink.

I was going to literally say both of these exact things. I LOVED Double Jump, esp for PVP, and I am super curious about how Blink will work.

It has a cooldown, 'cus balancing.

So does every other jumping type... kinda. You can only use it "once" between touches on the ground. I can't imagine that Blink moves you further than the other movement modes (as that'd be unfair at some point) or is used less often than the others. I figure it's just a quicker, more directional, slightly more disorienting for your enemy version of double jump.

Just repeating what I saw on its Grimoire card. It seems those Beta Grimoires have been wiped by the way, so I can't screen cap.
Triple Jump sounds good to me.
