If you have both your standard and your move action left, can you use the move action for Battle Insights the same way (declaring that "I only want this to go off if it turns out that it's a move action; I don't want to spend a standard action)?
I would do it this way. You declare, "I'm using battle insight". If you get the regular DC, you have to spend a standard action, else you can spend the move action if you get the full DC. If you only have a move left and don't get the big DC, you can't use the action.

I'll admit I didn't think of this issue when I first wrote teh stunts, but hey that's why we post house rules to the boards!
