undocumented change in current push:
Apparently any spell cast initiates the GCD, even if canceled. So you cannot start a cast, move, then re-start a cast as was common in PvP to attempt to get an opponent to pummel / kick when you weren't casting.
Well, you can do it still, but with a 1.0 to 1.5 second pause between casts instead of the 0.5 to 1 that people would generally use in PvP. It also would severely affect the cast / cancel way of healing which would need to happen with the downrank change. I really don't see both downrank and this GCD change staying. One or the other (or both) will need to be re-worked some.
