HP IDF TTT

Jump is available for use after every CT. Allows jump to go off nearly immediately once its CD is done. CD reduction means every other Jump is getting modified, with no need to wait an extra 10 seconds.

In an ideal world, yes, but in many encounters, I've found that the amount of mechanic evasion required often upsets our rotations enough that the ~10s discrepency between 1x Power Surge and 2x Jump CDs is not an issue, especially given the fact that you should be activating Power Surge at least 1-2 GCDs prior to using Jump (putting it on CD that much earlier than Jump). While I don't deny that the CD reduction will help in some encounters, I would not say that it could be considered a blanket DPS increase for us.
