I just have a quick proposal for the Sorc ability "Word of Pain," and the BW equivalent.
*Pictures are for Sorc Abilities*
Here is the ability,

Now a tactic can be obtained from the Sorc Mastery Tree, "Path of Calamity," and it is called "Vision of Domination."

In the original ability, the willpower debuff lasts for 10 seconds, and the cooldown is also 10 second. However, with the mastery tactic, the debuff is reduced to 5 seconds, while the cooldown remains at 10 seconds.
Here is the ability with the tactic equipped. As you can see, the ability on my target has a 5 second duration, while the ability has a 10 second cooldown.

My proposal is that the cooldown on the ability be reduced to 5 seconds when the tactic is equipped just as the debuff is. If my burst goes well, my targeted enemy is dead by the 6th second of my rotation. This means that if I begin a new rotation right after, I have a couple second gap between when I initiate chillwind on my new target and when I can used WoP again. This messes with my burst as all my dmg is not hitting in the same timestamp, and the target has an opportunity to react. Second of all, if I am engaging with a tougher enemy like a healer or a tank (Say in a 1v1 situation), I want to keep my spiritual debuff running at all times. I am able to do this without the tactic, however, with the tactic (which is supposed to add practicality to the ability), I have to wait 5 seconds before reactivating it.
Thirdly, if I am running a pre-made and am running small bursts on targets suffering from huge DoT or AoE created by a teammate in order to make killing blows. It does not make sense for me to have to wait 5 second longer than the duration of my ability in order to start a burst on a new enemy. Time is precious.
