Why is the game going down every expasion?

Holy... there was nothing good about the 20 Gauge cost. You never used that skill outside of IR every 90s which removed the gauge cost.

I was actually counting the minutes until someone would say that lol.

20 Gauge OS was amazing design because it discouraged spamming it, the opportunity cost (DPS loss when not used to keep uptime) meant it was an actual situational utility skill more useful for its intended design (closing gaps) than an extra bland and boring damage button you try to keep for your burst window.
Whether it was used often in the fights back then or not is irrelevant, the skills design was much smarter then than it is now. That being said, good for you that it was not needed on your strats, I got my mileage out of it and it was fun to use when I had to because for some reason I did sometimes end up in Narnia and had to keep my GCD rolling.

(ETA - yes i know that you still get mileage out of the current iteration of the skill by using it to close gaps and keep the GCD rolling - thats not the point I am making here)
