With all the nerfs to many things, I think there are several weapons that need fixed.
Pistols:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vital_Shot
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Explosive_Shot
Shown delay: 0.5 | Actual delay: 0.97
These delays need fixed, and vital shot should do a little more based on explosive shot. They need a speed increase badly.
Dagger:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Life_Siphon
(It needs to be double the cast speed and also steal endurance.)
Staff:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Necrotic_Grasp
(This should be changed to some kind of spectral beam attack that burns the target, much like Arc Lightning, Spatial Surge. Necromancers need a niche cool-spell too.)
Shortbow:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Trick_Shot
Shown delay: 0.25 | Actual Delay: 0.95
This weapon does horrible damage and needs a huge speed increase, honestly it should have a different animation to so it looks like hes shooting faster.
Scepter:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Orb_of_Wrath
Shown delay: 0.25 | Actual Delay: 0.8
Honestly, this should be just like trick shot and bounce between targets once it hits them, and it should actually be 0.25 speed, since the things are SO slow. They should have a faster speed, and have a secondary effect such as “Lowers the duration of the target’s current boon by ‘2’ seconds.” this is unique since it doesn’t remove or steal the boon, but simply lowers the time its on its target, this could even remove lower effecting boons. Even an effect such as "Does 3% more damage per boon on the target " while also lowering boons.
Hammer:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Hammer_Smash
Recovery after blow should be lowered by 0.5 seconds, it seems as slow as the guardian’s one, but does not even have its healing or effects. (so you can start the chain again faster.) It should really have some kind of effect too, like a Combo Field: Blast finisher, vulnerability or cripple and weakness.
Sword:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Final_Thrust
Recovery after thrust should be lowered by 0.5 seconds or removed entirely. (so you can start the chain again faster, this is meant to be a fast weapon.)
(Could also add a second effect, maybe Evade: ½ s? [Or block.] Sword is meant to be a tanky parry weapon in the hands of a soldier or knight.)
Mace:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Pulverize
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Faithful_Strike
(Both of these need lowered to ½, Maces need to be a bit more viable and faster, I also think Pulverize should also cripple for 8s or take away the targets endurance.)
Flamethrower Kit:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Flame_Jet
This should do damage while moving, if you move it always misses.

If I missed any, please tell me!
You should’ve kept your post focused on delays instead of going on about your personal fantasies for ability reworks.
