Internal report from this past September with some more details:

On Red99, it seems that all classes are benefiting from this (out of era for us) buff that hybrids received in this patch note:

•Melee attack timers will no longer be reset when a SK, Paladin, or Ranger cast a spell. Previously these classes had to wait a full attack delay after casting before they would attack via melee again.

This (for us) bug makes classes like Shaman far stronger in classic PvP then they should be. It allows them to use, for example, a 30 damage gatorsmash maul and hit people very hard in between the casts. It also allows them to slam and interrupt their caster enemies in between their own castings. Shamen with a gatorsmash maul taking advantage of this bug was very popular in classic era red99, but all casters (including hybrids who should not even have this yet) greatly benefited from this.
Below is a log from a shaman I have on EQmac that clearly shows her weapon delay is NOT being reset after completing castings of long casting time plague spells. Eventually this feature described in the patch note above was extended to Beastlords, but that is beyond our timeline.
