They did it with mudras. Why not other actions too? I'm sure benediction and lustrate could be done this way too.
This was always the case even in heavensward PVP, they do this because you should learn to pre-determine that the incoming damage might be too much resulting in a death. This is not lag but simply animation delay. See the hallowed ground delay as shown below.
