If that was the case with a 1.x GCD that was just poor skill cost balance. To me, even the ~2 second GCD of a monk feels like an eternity, but its not as bad since I have to move into position for my next attack during that 2 seconds. I can't stand playing any of the other classes simply because of the 2.5 second GCD.
