I was literally responding to a quote indicating it was a misnomer so long as Gnashing Fang and its continuation didn't cost a total of 6 cartridges. The name (since the name originally attached to Double Down's animation has already been turned into our 90s resource-refresher) and skill were chosen in order to produce that effect.

The devs would not have switched things around and called it what they did unless they wanted a multi-cartridge spender.

Thereafter, it simply falls into the same matter of GCDs. For instance, if Double-Down had a combo GCD, then it'd simply replace two Burst Strikes.
