Every Blue Mage has a small handful of spells that are/were a bit*h to learn. Post which you had the biggest headache obtaining or are still trying to get.
Mine so far are:
Maelstrom (just cant learn it! ugh!)
Auroral Drape (took 40 mobs to learn)
Heat Breath (they have way too many TP moves)
Metallic Body (took a week to get)
Wild Carrot(they didnt want to use it)
Feather Barrier (see above)
Which Are Your "Ugh!!!" Spells?
You must be logged in to do that.

Blm has alot of "ugh" spells too. All of the AM II's, for example. I hope SE fixes those. They were very hard earned and are garbage now in lieu of Tier V.
Only one for me was subzero smash, the rest I got in 5 tries or fewer.

For disseverment there are 2 tricks you can do to find the dagger mobs (so far thats my biggest issue with this spell, finding the ones that use it). Take a Soultrapper and snap a pic, on the plate it lists its job. Also, take a lvl 75 player and have them check it, if it says High Evasion chances are its a THF type.
Death Scissors and Eyes on Me. Just getting them to use it was a pain, but they were being stubborn about giving it to me too, even when they did use it.

Mysterious Light
Terror Touch
Blitzstrahl
Power Attack
Queasyshroom
These were the bane of my existence when I was leveling blu. Of course this was back way before abyssea so I would get 2 levels in an exp party and go farm any new spells I unlocked and so on, so I'd be fighting those mobs of roughly the same level as me, no just spam dia and faceroll :/. For the majority I loved farming new spells, the sense of accomplishment you got when you saw "X learned X-move!" when the mob died was just so awesome. Having all spells makes me sadface I can't do it again...maybe I should make my mule level blu.

Quad. Continuum/Auroral Drape
Oh and Head Butt. Took me about 2 hours before realizing it came from Quadavs and not Mandies, then went to go learn it from the ones in konschtat and went like 1/3. >__>

Everyone's Grudge
Sub-Zero Smash
Cocoon
Auroral Drape
To name a few, but the feeling of victory after learning awkward spells makes it all worth it! Oh wait, probably wont use 60% of the spells anyway <.<

Wild Oats. Took me 3 days and the slaughter of hundreds of mandies.
Other than that I guess Occulation and Magic Fruit really sucked.

Not for me, but a friend, Frenetic Rip, stupid imps! Even when we broke the horn, they either wouldn't use it or if they did, he wouldn't learn it. 2 weeks! D:
