I don't recall any other situation where two different types of abilities cancel each other. I'm not even sure the system would manage this properly. Feel free to correct me if I've overlooked current skills that work that way.

Problem is, system-wise, this is the reason why DRK don't lose a GCD (or mana) to be in "DPS stance", because it's not a DPS stance, but only the lack of Grit, and, as a universal rule right now, deactivating a skill is free and doesn't start any timer.
