It certainly works with melee attacking. You can turn off auto-wand-shoot with one click on the attack button (default '1'). Why can't I do that with any other spell?
In effect, what you are asking for is to remove the cooldown time on wands. If it acted the way you're suggesting, then you could hit the wand shoot button and quickly hit a spell, like say Mind Blast, and have both a wand shot and Mind Blast come out in quick succession -- drastically increasing the dps of casters even more than auto-shoot already has. I imagine that this is why they did not do what you are suggesting. In the previous version, we had to wait for a wand cooldown before we were able to cast anything, too. The only difference is that in this version, we have to tell the game not to cast the second shot.
