You, like many others complaining about the long skill cooldown timers are forgetting a key feature of FFXIV which it pains me to have to remind you.

Did you forget you have Marauder, Gladiator, and Puglist skills at your disposal as well? Are you trying to play FFXIV by spamming 2-3 keys? If you aren't using at least 1-2 full bars of active skills, you aren't doing it correctly.
