    Personally, I'd slightly prefer a different tack, if only because I dislike button-bloat:
    • Hypercharge Overheats your next 6 shots; 12s max duration.
    • Heat Blast, once acquired, replaces Hypercharge while Overheated.
    • Auto Crossbow, once acquired, replaces Spread Shot / Scattergun while Overheated.
    Yeah removing the animation and giving X amount of stacks that last Y time (like WAR Inner Release) to use Heat Blast and Auto Crossbow is also a good idea.

    How about this:
    - Get to 50 heat
    - Heat Blast and Auto Crossbow become available
    - When used they consume 50 heat and fire off right away
    - You get 5(?) overheat charges lasting ~15s
    - Each use of Heat Blast or Auto Crossbow consumes 1 charge
    - When you consume all the stacks you can use another 50 heat or continue your rotation

    It's 2 buttons, up from 1, but the added flexibility would definitely be worth it, imo! Definitely add some further audio and visual element though so that you know when you're down to 1-2 shots, though, or else people might accidentally spam into a second round of Overheated that they'd had meant to save for raid buffs. (We see similar protection for stack-based systems already applied to all but Requiescat-Confiteor.)

    Now, the harder question, though... could we ever get back some manner of Heat mechanic that gives MCH more to do than just 1-2-3 and hit CDs as they refresh?... >.>

    :: Final bit: Let's please let the reduced-GCD of Heat Blast and Auto Crossbow scale with GCD speed.
