    Also, something I haven't seen mentioned yet, but Benediction. Sometimes when you cast it at critical HP, the delay is still atrocious and the person you cast it on dies anyways. The reason it is set at INSTANT and you can cast on the move, is so that you can cure them up at THAT SECOND. I'm not talking like the player is at 10 HP or anything, I've seen the person at over a quarter HP and s/he still dies before the benny registers? Can we fix that please?

    This should be addressed for all instant cast actions, make the effect take place at the start of the animation rather than when it ends. How many Hallowed Grounds have I hit only to die midway through the animation ... what's the point of an "Oh Shit" button if hitting it has a delay of 2 seconds.

    Not even the biggest issue. Lustrate as the same issue (also note that it takes your stack in front of the animation, but heals behind the animation).

    Adlo/Succor has a near 1-2 second delay of SHIELD ACTIVATION. Therefore, you can never pre-emptively cast it vs. any boss skill that has <2s cast time. You need almost perfect timing against Twintania to properly shield against DS. More often than not, you rely on a "feel" for when the skill is coming rather than waiting for the cast to come.
