Extinguish Will (Glorious Strike) - 2.0 second stun
Righteous Demonstration (Glorious Strike) - 2.0 second stun

These indeed need to be changed to 2.5 seconds to match the numbers that the devs said when a 4 second stun is changed to a 2.5 second stun.

Backlash - 1.5 second stun
Valourous Dash - 2.5 second stun

These are right on for the the new change in stuns and seem to work well.

Fervent Aid (ST Heal) - 2.0 second CT
Devotion (ST Ward) - 2.0 second CT
Prayer of Consecration (Group Heal) - 3.0 second CT

These spells seem to be inline with other healer spells on casting time and recast, the extra second on the group heal is a fair exchange for such a powrful group heal we can get with critical on a master 1 of this.

Reverent Sacrament (Self Heal) - 3.0 second CT

I love this spell when i can get it off before a interupt or fizzle, this spell really needs looked at on the casting time. The closest comparison to this spell is the brawler mend ability which i believe is on a 1 second cast time and a 90 second recast. I am still ok with having this set at a 5 minute recast/self heal/ requiring a devout essence/ medium power requirement. The part of the spell i am still greatly against is the casting time, especially with the changes on our stuns.

I have talked with various classes in the game and some of them seem to have their stuns work correctly before LU 24 and some were just as messed up as us. The way most(if not all) of our stuns worked before, we had the mob stun till somebody hit it, then it broke. In a solo fight we usually had the 4 sec stun because we were spending at least 2-3 seconds casting our ward or heal. With the max of a 2.5 sec stun and a self emergency heal that is 3 seconds, it makes this spell less stable than before. At the very least they need to make this a 2 second cast time on the sacrament, but i see no inbalance making it a 1 second cast time due to the current restrictions on it.
