Not really sure what you mean here. You're saying I may need to pop a cool down between GCD skills, and that I might not be able to do so before the GCD timer ends if I have something like SW or SS MACRO into my GCD. Since I leave cool downs in a separate slot, I can manually pop these to insure they go off. In the off chance that my OGCD skills are up, worst case scenario I lose a few fraction of a second on my next GCD skill in my rotation
