Samurai Konzen-Ittai Bug

I feel like this is a bug, as I expect the new samurai ability Konzen-Ittai to function like the dancer's Wild Flourish. If I weaponskill too quickly after using Konzen-Ittai, no skillchain occurs and the effect of Konzen-Ittai is lost as subsequent weaponskills also don't trigger the correct skillchain (for example, doing Konzen-Ittai, Sekanoki, then 2x Tachi: Kasha does not result in any light skillchain). I find myself having to wait for the animation of it to end, before a skillchain occurs with the next weaponskill. I don't think this behavior is normal.


Platform: PC
ISP: AT&T
Type of Internet Connection: DSL UVerse
Internet Connection Speed: 18Mb/s
Date & Time: 7/14/2011, tested between 9-11pm
Frequency: 100% with above steps
Character Name: Toushyro
Race: Elvaan
World: Siren
Main Job: Samurai
Support Job: Warrior
Area and Coordinates: Abyssea - La Theine, various location killing gigas mobs
Party or Solo: Solo
NPC Name: ---
Monster Name: Various (all)
Steps:
1. Engage mob
2. Initiate Konzen-Ittai
3. Immediately follow up with a weaponskill (Tachi: Kasha or Geko) without pause, no skillchain occurs
Alternatively:
1. Engage mob
2. Mediate for 200+ TP
3. Use Sekanoki
4. Initiate Konzen-Ittai
5. Immediately follow up with Tachi: Kasha without pause, no skillchain occurs
6. Use a second Tachi:Kasha, still no skillchain occurs

You still have to pause for 3 seconds before you do tachi: kasha to get the light skillchain, and I believe its effect wears off after anyone weaponskills so if it was bad timing then the second kasha won't do anything for you. Confused why your using sekkanoki at all would be better to use konzen-ittai then wait 3 then use the 200% tp for a higher damage kasha.

The point is that the ability is lost if you weaponskill too quickly, unlike Wild Flourish which you can weaponskill immediately and still get a skillchain, and they're pretty much the same ability. They should behave the same: Once the status is inflicted on the mob, the next weaponskill should trigger a skillchain, which is not the case for Konzen-Ittai.
