Ah, my mistake.. I see now. Thanks for not biting my head off about it! XD

Well no wonder it feels so agonizingly slow when I cast it! Now that I know the specifics of its 6 second cast time I'm still let down a bit.
When I get into a dungeon people just want to go, go, go! Barely waiting for Protect buff. Of course I'm going to blow my Swiftcast for SS II so we can move on quickly.

I guess I'm going to have to reconfigure the way I handle buffs. Perhaps casting Swift & SS2 first and then Protect. It'll give Swiftcast a few seconds longer to recharge if I get that out first. And maybe I'll stop being so obsessive about keeping SS up in between trash pulls.
