Before breaking out the pitchforks I'd read this blue post if you haven't: https://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/...ns-on-the-gcd/

Looks like this is something they're rethinking as a whole, which they admit is a jarring change for longtime players. The second sentence of the post: "This set of changes reflects an experiment in the latest Alpha build." - Remember they like to throw pretty crazy stuff at Alpha builds that never make it to beta, let alone live.

I'm eager to see what this means for tanks specifically because I'm a bear tank at heart.

Also if this stops fire mages from being able to nuke me out of middair I'm all for it.
