Take GNB as an example, Blasting Zone has a 30s recast and is used with No Mercy every other time. 10 min means 20 Blasting Zone casts, 10 of them in buff windows with +20%, that's equal to +10% on it. If you misalign it to get 1-2 more casts that is 5-10% - OUTSIDE the buff windows. You don't win anything by doing that. It's the same reason you use every other Gnashing Fang in No Mercy, that rule doesn't change for Blasting Zone!

The situation right now is: the longer the fight the higher the chance that your oGCDs misalign with your buff windows because you clip them sooner or later. Or you would've to delay your buff window to re-align with your oGCDs.

Buffs will still be unaffected by SkS/SpS!
This really does not solve an issue then. You really are not in any danger of your oGCDs drifting outside of your buff windows by simply using your oGCDs a bit after you actually use the buff. Using your gunbreaker example, blasting zone isn’t used until two GCDs into No Mercy. How would it be possible for this to ever drift outside of the NM window?
