Similar to stacks, but I think works a little more like Mudras where the exact combination you used to lead up to the final attack changes what it does. That's my theory, at least and I don't think that button holding will cone into play.
they didn't mention "holding" but that's what i'm guessing - since in the video we can see him charging a skill - so i'm guessing you're holding down the button, or it's 2-click skill, where you choose timing to release it to cause maximum damage, as the glow flare.
So i don't think it's a cast bar, because even if you release it to soon or late, it will still go off for some minor damage and/or loosing out on any debuff/buff.

well charging will be a bit more difficult to play i think, because you need to pay attention to timing, and what's going on around you, what boss is casting, etc.
so there will be many lolsam that will miss dodging stuff, and die - let's not ask for lolbrd/mch too
