You don't double down on a issue just because the issue already exists. A WHM rework should aim at creating a healthy, interesting and engaging connection between lilies and Afflatus Misery, which is currently lacking. It is absolutely not true that there's no way around toxic downtime behaviour.

Decouple Afflatus Misery (and make it a 60s cooldown) from lilies and make lilies oGCDs. Done. It is boring, but so is your suggestion. Lilies need to be reworked from the ground up, these are only band-aid solutions and as such undesirable.
