From Doctor Mog's sheet in p3, skill speed reductions with Greased Lighting are multiplicative with skill speed bonuses. It is unlikely that Fey Light behaves differently. You get 0.01 GCD reduction per 10.5 points on average (10/11 alternating) starting with -0.01 at 342. Getting 1.5s GCD with WAR is totally impossible; you would need 712 skill speed. MNK stack 491 just to get to 2.00 at 3 GL stacks.
Blocking is an probability mechanic. You only bother with it for looking at long term efficiency or at high rates for burst damage probability.

Additionally, I'm pretty confident his spread sheet is wrong. He made the same careless error I made (or at least would be amazed to find out I hadn't) in prior post so I don't think he tested but rather assumed. He's multiplying by .85 for Greased Lightning where he should divide by 1.15. Listening to his video, it didn't sound like he tested this. I suppose it's correct, but that would be a huge anomaly for an MMO.
