I didn't start until latish in the Beta, but it was already on-block unlockable weaponskill costing 40 TP at that time, and stayed as such until its conversion to an oGCD on a 15s CD in HW...
The change reduced mob and enmity control in dungeons, and was only a faint dps increase for those at or below a 2.4s GCD.
