I never been against the animation lock, for me they just had to reduce it a bit, and with less lag it would have been ok. It was for me part of the gameplay to know when to cast or TP move. (Like kind of every other mmos).

But they decided to remove it so, i'll trust SE and deal with it, it's not like it's a major change of the game anyway. (I just want the combo positionning back but it's another story)
