The problem is exactly this. There is cast time, ground warning, and cast animation but only the cast time is important. The issue is from the first two lining up poorly from time to time. Titans weight of the earth loves to hit me... rather odd since I am a person who has been dealing with those exact type of mechanics in WoW for the last few years and never had a problem.

The worst is when everyone in the group can see you are clear of something with plenty of time left but you still get hit with it...
