[FIXED] [Rogue][Combat] GCD vs Adrenaline Rush & Shadow Blades

[DeParanoia]

WoW Freakz spell link: Adrenaline Rush & Shadow Blades ( with 4P bonus )
Bug description: GCD reduction from Adrenaline Rush and Shadow Blades works just visually. With both of them active I should have 0.5 GCD (0.2 from Adrenaline Rush and 0.3 from Shadow Blades), so that means in 12 seconds, I should be able to do about 24 special abilities, but practically I can only do 12 . This really screws a rogues burst.
Proof: I will bring video if necessary, but it can clearly be seen ingame .

Spoiler:

Ghostcrawler: (the interview is after he made the statement bellow, but it still points the fact he said what's bellow.

We think we understand the rogue concerns on the PvE 4pc better now. We don't mind Combat having to unlink AR and SB to maximize the bonus, and we still think the set bonus is a DPS increase over not having it. However, it may be the case that the value of the set bonus forces Combat to swap to another spec because the cooldown stacking is one of the mechanics that keeps Combat competitive. To try to (ahem) combat this, we are going to do something unusual and allow the set bonus to also reduce the global cooldown on rogue abilities to 0.7 sec during Shadow Blades. This should help prevent GCD lock / energy capping. Normally we are very reluctant to reduce the GCD lower than 1 sec, so this is very much an experiment.


The 5.4 nerf reduced the energy cost, didn't remove the GCD reduction.
To quell the issue, the four-piece bonus will now also reduce combat's global cooldown even further. When coupled with the Glyph of Adrenaline Rush, combat rogues can spam their abilities twice per second.
So twice per second= 0.5 GCD. Glyph of AD is now part of AD.

4p works as intended, so does AD, the game doesn't let you cast unless 1 sec GCD passed, even if you are GCD ready in under 1 second.
