Instant cast Damge skills

Why are these on the GCD? For example skills like scathe and bio, these skills are only marginally beneficial when it comes to applying DPS and using them actually lower your DPS when cast since your other skills are set on Cooldown. I think these skills should be set off the GCD and given a 3/5 second cooldown or given a cast time since them being instant is not beneficial at all.

Instant is beneficial. You can use these skills while moving.
The GCD prevents them vom being spammed over and over. Get used to it, GCD ist quite normal in MMOs to control dmg-output and build mechanics (and take out some speed of the fights).

GCD is Square's way of implementing ATB without having a bar actually showing when you can attack.
