I'm out of energy!
I need energy!
Not enough energy!
I need to target something first
I can't attack that target!
I'm out of range

That said, I do like how GW II does it though, where their standard attacks are just groans and shouts, but the cooldowns are voiced - it's a nice balance of having a voice, but tied to a button that's not used as often, and also works as a "hey everybody, I'm activating a raid cd!"
