I'm not sure I understand. I have never had an animation run so long that it prevented me from using an ability when GCD was up, and I can get my GCD below 2s with a SCH.

If you can describe the phenomenon with more detail, I will check it out. Or post a video.

Unless you're coming to this conclusion with paper and ink, parsers are unreliable for DoTs. There is also the matter of timing your DoTs correctly on primals, since there are periods of invulnerability where DoTs won't contribute any damage. All 3 DoTs are the most damaging abilities in our arsenal when used intelligently - if the parser doesn't reveal that, the parser is incorrect; if your math doesn't reveal that, you need to check your work.
