Not really. Having the cake and eating it in this case would be WM having no cooldown instead of locking you in WM for 15 seconds after using it. Granted, that creates other issues (constant stance-dancing, for one), but considering that it's essentially a button that exists for the sake of having a button to push, that's not really surprising.
So you guys are complaining that you have actual downtime for once like all the other DPS classes have had forever?
Because BRD was designed around that "lack of downtime" from the ground up. You can't even chalk it up to it being just the long-time BRDs that have an issue with this. There's even people picking up the job post-HW's release that seem to find the change jarring, and that's not a good sign at all.

In short, WM's implementation is lacking at best, terrible at worst. If the intent was to add cast times to lessen BRD mobility, doing it through a toggle at lv52 is not the way to go about it.
