Not sure if that's an issue yet, but it makes me deeply suspicious from the start, so maybe some explanation of that in the Burst section at least would be good.

The 1.5 sec GCD is only for instants. Cast time spells can go below 1.5 sec cast.

Ok that's true - but you still have the GCD to deal with. Like, you can clutch your heal by .2 seconds or whatever, but you can't actually cast the next one until the GCD finishes - unless there's an undocumented change that allows alacrity to reduce the GCD ?

OK nm - did some reading on the theorycraft forums, there's some evidence that the GCD is reduced for casttimes, sometimes. Has there been any clear support of that from BW?
