1. Why this is in general discussion, and not in DPS forums. But there are already plenty of similar topics. It started at 3.0 and continues until now.
2. I don't like WM on bard, because it plays wrong with its toolset (BL procs and repelling shot)
3. If you play MCH and assume, that BRD is the same - it is not. MCH is much more mobile. He has a lot of procs, that he can use for movement. Brd uses his proc (only straighter shot) mainly for casting empyreal arrow without clipping to next gcd, and he can't move after that, since animation of proc-ed straight shot+empyrial arrow takes about whole gcd.

Or maybe the 1 second cast time for WM (stutter step) is the same as 4s for flare
Every 15 seconds, and if BRD doesn't have straighter shot proc, he casts heavy shot (1.5s), then empyreal arrow right after that (1.5s) and then other heavy shot right after that (1.5s). So, what we have here? Bard has to stand still for 4.5 seconds, he can't stutter step in this case, because it will cancel his next cast.
