Yes please for this feature.

I wanted to make a separate thread, but found this wonderful implementation of the concept.
Regarding skills, I want to know two things
- Remaining cooldown time.
- Is the skill ready to use?
Current system does a relatively decent job at telling me the remaining cooldown time, but up to the last few seconds. When you have only a few seconds left, it is incredibly difficult to tell if the skill is ready to use!
Using numbers, explicitly telling you how long you have left is one solution for this, but there is a more elegant way. Let us look more carefully at the image below posted by the OP.

Why?
Because The main problem with the current system is that the circle gradually reveals the original skill icon. This is terrible from a usability perspective! What it should do instead, and what is implemented in the third bar in the image above, is that the timer cooldown should gradually reveal another dimmed version of the skill!
Thus, when a skill is on cooldown, its icon is dimmed AND we see the remaining time left, be it by numbers or by the current pie chart.
When the skill is ready to use, the icon will turn to its full original tint!
Then, with such a system, we can easily answer two key questions:
How long I have left till I can use the skill again?
- It will be visible by the pie chart OR/AND number timer
Is the skill ready to use?
- When not ready, the skill will be dimmed. When ready, it will have full original tint icon.
Probably, the current implementation of the system is not trivial, but it seems that such a solution should not be difficult to implement. All that is needed is another dimmed version of each icon!

I really need this and they still didn't add this in the game i guess it's really helpfull to know when my Skills are about to go off from Cooldown.Please add this feature.

why we don't have a countdown timer on cooldowns yet ( with numbers etc 4-3-2-1-ready etc ) is so wierd :/

I like this idea for CD and I would like a solid deep red washout of the whole icon when someone is targetted but out of range (like bartender in wow)
