Confusion changes?
Confusion stacks in intensity, not duration. The counter for 4s will start out displaying 3s because it goes from 4s down to 3.99s (and beyond, counting lower and lower) immediately.
What Ron Cordova said, and from the Bug Thread for Mesmers:
“Cry of Frustration”’s Confusion lasts only 3s and not the 4s indicated in its tooltip.
So when you shatter 3 illusions, you get a 3 stack of Confusion on the target for 3 seconds. Then you look at other traits/boons/runes/armor to see if the Condition Duration is increased, if you have 15 Illusion so that each Illusion puts 2x stack of confusion instead of 1x, and Illusionary Persona to make it a 4x Illusion Cry of Frustration rather then a 3x Illusion CoF.

Im sure the duration used to be 12 seconds total for 3 illusions, maybe I imagined it…
still says it should last 4s per illusion in the description.
