I wouldn't mind seeing the duration stretched a bit further because of the 5 min cd (maybe 15 secs to match with divine seal) but its super useful both when your are working on hard content and for when you are stance dancing to get in some extra deeps.
    You say it's a good cooldown, then you talk nothing about why the cooldown is sufficient, you just talk about the application of the ability itself. I'm pretty sure the OP knows the uses of the ability, but his question is how does it justify the duration and the limited effect it has.

    Actually part of my answer was in response the OP asking about cast time reduction and the other part was not as clear as I intended. I was merely pointing to the fact that based on the usage I described that I felt the cooldown was good. If the cooldown was reduced by a minute or two or the duration was increased by 50% I think it would MORE warrant the 5 minute cd but its not terrible as is, just a bit underwhelming for the 5 mins.

    My entire point. It is quite underwhelming. It isn't game breaking, but if they want this move to not fall under the same status as "1 Ilm Punch" then they need to do something. As it stands now, when I get my Swiftcast (I know I should have it already) Presence of Mind will be losing its spot. It just isn't worth it for 10 seconds ever 5 minutes. :/

    While it may not feel like its worth the 5 minute cooldown I don't think swift cast is going to replace a move that is off the global cooldown and has a 10s duration. Even though its still a 5 minute CD its still super useful at times, like during phase 6 of Turn 4 when dreadnaughts and adds are beating on both your tanks you will be glad for it.

    It would be nice if it were a bit stronger especially for the time it takes to cooldown but not using it is a mistake.
