But what I'm saying is that if your way of casting is to blend sword and spell into a single thing, then it's weird that you would start casting differently out of combat.
Why?

Why not?
I guess I was unclear then - blending is your *main* thing, not your only thing.
That isn’t a genuine response
Then your weakening the case for needing this class in the first place. As has been stated, we already have options for attacking or casting.
We don’t have many options that blend the either attack or cast stuff into a single action. If your justification for needing such a class is to have a class that can do the desired blending then saying you aren’t blending out of combat, kind of places the justification that was just used for the class on shaky ground.
Yea, I played one for about a year, it's a really solid class. The arcane order subclass even has the teleport to attacked allies ability, like one of the 4e swordmages. I believe it's up to 6 subclasses now in its most recent release.
I hesitated to mention it since the OP said no homebrew, but there are several options by reputable homebrew publishers that fit the swordmage niche quite nicely.

Sure it was. You made an assertion about something being weird without supporting it in any way, so I asked why you think it's weird. "Why not" is a non-response.Neither was “why”.
