In the example of your wizard,

Pillar of Frost =
4.5 casting time
6 recast timer

You only need to wait 1.5 seconds after hitting your insta click to start casting the nuke successfully. Which is close to what you described.

Cast PoF >>> Instant Click >>> **0 sec wait** >>> Cast PoF = Failed Recast timer (0 + 4.5 secs < 6 secs)
Cast PoF >>> Instant Click >>> ** 1.5 sec wait >>> Cast PoF = Success Recast timer (1.5 + 4.5 secs = 6 secs)

The result is that the amount of time I have to wait between "chain casting" different spells is different (2 secs for dementia, 1.5 secs for PoF, e.g.), but the reason for this has to do with the relative gap between their arbitrary cast times and recast timers...you aren't just chopping off the GCD as most people think.
