You'll receive 40/40 cast/recharge.

not quite.

for 4% of the time (20% X 20%), you'll get a double half skill recharge.

so if we use the exclusion principle:

A union B = A + B - (A intersection B) = 20% + 20% - 4% = 36%

overall, you have a 36% chance of your skills recharging faster.

edit: fixed my math errorz

that's 32% half skill recharge, and 4% double half skill recharge. overall, you have a 36% chance of your skills recharging faster.

You are very close. For HCT you will have 4% quarter casting time, 32% half casting time; for HSR you will have 36% half skill recharge (there is no quarter skill recharge).

Definately HCT, you're in the back row so you shouldn't have much aggro and the monks should be able to cover what you do get.
