the change just made it so if you left auto-attack on, then you would "save" your next swing attempt till the casting was finished
I didn't play a hybrid then so i can't verify either way, I could see how you might be correct but even so it would still be a significant buff not having to time every spell and turn attack on and off, and the patch notes say differently.

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.
