This won't be super visible to the naked eye, but next build should have Voidform more consistently reducing the GCD of all spells below the usual 1s floor. The mechanics are somewhat complicated, but the overall effect should be that other haste effects (gear, Bloodlust, etc.) will still cap at 50%, working like any other class. And then Voidform will add its full value beyond that to both cast times and the GCD, keeping your button-pressing cadence consistent between all your spells even as Voidform accelerates. We may have to revisit this if GCDs get shorter than 0.7s or so, but that shouldn't be happening outside of Surrender to Madness (where some degree of extremely frenetic button-pressing is no problem).
