Simply:
  • Most abilities are oGCD. I can't think of an exception.
  • All weaponskills are GCDs and usually cost TP (Only exception to my knowledge are WAR's wrath moves) and are affected by SKILL speed.
  • All spells cost MP. Some of them are instant GCDs (Flash, Ruin II, Unmend), but most of them have cast bars. Regardless of instant or cast, they invoke the GCD. Both cast and GCD are affected by SPELL speed.

So the difference is "added" in the descriptions.
I was being totally serious and expressing a hope that Defiance would someday affect healing that comes from spells and abilities.

And, no, I can't manage to think of a single ability that is on the Global Cooldown either.
