after this change I'd really like to see a number crunchers comparisan. I am still planning on the STR/WIS build but if the AGI line really proves to be a big dps increaser I might go with this one.

I've already got it at rank 8, I raided with a troub that had 3.5% group cast time reduction so I trained the 8th point to see if 13.5% would make any difference over 12.3%

and sure enough ice nova was 3.4s cast and fusion at 4.3s, instead of 3.5 and 4.4

if it is indeed 15% like qq stated i'll have some parse #'s for you all when it goes live. This will also help with increasing procs as well as a side effect.

which means in the same senario i'd be 18.5% hasted which works out to

5s cast at 4.0 s 1s savings

4s cast at 3.2s .8s savings

3s cast at 2.4s .6s savings

2s cast at 1.6s .4s savins

1s cast at 0.8s (stays the same from 11% - 20%) .2s savings

.5s cast at .04s .1s savings (stays the same from 1% to 20%)
