Edit > Okay, that was confusing. :unsure: I more than likely have no idea what you're talking about, and was just babbling.
That bug applies to all "repeating skills" (which is the Inferno like ones and Blade Fury AFAIK).
Unless you wait for the skill to cool down (1/2 - 1 sec), the next action you do will be ignored, even if you get the graphics for it.
Maybe you're talking about a slightly different usage, but I "tested" this extensively (hey, my Ice Druid is level 57) with all cold skills at least.
All the graphics you see are client side, and the cast timer is server side. But the casting graphic (even showing you cast it, showing that you can cast it, and the spell) is client side, you can actually remove the cast time and have nothing change at all (this will just look really strange, essentially extra lag and confusion for the client).
Druid timered spells have a built in extra client delay though (casting a spell reds out everything).....that might be what you're talking about.
