How does everyone feel about skill speed?

Any dot that is applied with a damage increase(like raging strikes) can not be reapplied without the same damage buff or one of more potency. You have to let it fall off before you can apply the dot without rageing strikes. The effect is the same with non-stacking buffs aswell.

I understand this. I was asking if you should delay the global cooldown and wait that second to apply the dot or use a damage ability like heavy shot and lose 1.5 seconds of the dot being up.

In normal circumstances, I'd use an attack, but with bards you also lose a potential tick of damage which can proc a bloodletter, so it may be better to delay to GCD.
