Evidence always speaks for itself. I'll look for some this coming week.
From what I recall it worked liked:

Lets just assume you just swung your weapon.
Then you leave your auto attack on after the swing while you cast a a spell.
If you left autoattack on and your weapon swing timer elapsed(would have been able to swing if not for casting a spell), then you would lose that swing and would reset the timer. essentially the game is counting it as a swing that never happened.
If you turned auto attack off and waited for the spell to finish casting, you would get an instant attack in(assuming the swing timer had elapsed).


i think the hybrid changes they implemented simply meant hybrids didn't have to worry about switching AA on/off.

But basically if your swing timer elapses during a spell cast your timer was reset. Combining slow weapons with faster casting spells can also allow you to avoid the delayand not have to worry about toggling at all.

I'd recommend looking for early era SK tips/guides/posts related to fear kiting and you will probably find some commentary about it and weapon selection related to the issue.
