As someone who (ab)used this mechanic, I can guarantee you that this wasn't fixed until the january 15 2003 patch.

Quoted from the patch message.

"- Raised all recast times below 2.25 seconds up to 2.25 seconds. This
is a change in the spell data as the first part of a two-part change
needed to correct the "Recast time not met" problem. More information
is available at the Developer's Corner at www.everquest.com. "

This was obscure, but what actually happened along with that fix is that insta cast items no longer resetted the global cooldown.
