When I pop my Polarity Shift (20% alacrity) my Lightning Strike become a 1.0sec cast, 0.5 under the GCD, and I can spam it without having to wait on the GCD.

Having a definite answer would help because it would drastically affect my stat priority.

I tested this last night, admittedly it is only visual and "feel" testing by me, but I managed to push the cast time of spells down to 0.9 with Polarity Shift, Alacrity-on-use relic and an alacrity adrenal, and couldn't see or feel any gaps after the cast before it allowed me to start the next one (specifically I was testing with Dark Heal as it has the same cast time as Lightning Strike, and allowed me to test without going looking for elite mobs that would survive long enough to test; additionally I used it from the spellbook, so I can confirm that the cast was indeed 0.9 and not rounded the the nearest, as previously I had it casting at 0.95).
