Just a side note. It might not seem a lot of work for most of you to add auto-attack to the battle system but it does affect pretty much all your abilities. They need to completely rebalance your abilities with proper cooldowns because they are removing the stamina bar, so that each class and action is well balance when compared to one another. It's more than a "simple" band-aid.

Also, they are reworking the battle UI (bars and icons), new animations for abilities and spells (though I think some more will come in further patches), re-designing classes to make them more unique, adjusting enmity algorithm.

So yeah, they are taking a long time doing it, but it's not just "adding" auto-attack and that's it. I'd rather they take longer than release it full of bugs and glitches.
