Grim Focus and Spectral Arrow

So the first thing I did when I got on the PTS was checked out the new skills on Templar/DK/NB and for the most part I was pretty happy. But after playing around with the NB skill there were a few things that bugged me.
First the skill takes 8 hits with light/heavy before you can even use Spectral Arrow. Which seems a bit excessive in my opinion. I often found myself killing a mob with light attacks before I got 8 hits in which was really frustrating and annoying. So my suggestion would be reduce the number of hits required to 5-6.
Second I think the duration of Spectral Arrow should be longer before it reverts back to Grim Focus. The other half of the times when I didn't kill my mob in 8 swings by the time the skill was ready to use he would be low HP and I would just execute the mob. After which I would look around and try to find a new mob to kill. The problem is by the time you find a new mob the skill reverts back to grim focus, which means you have to use the skill quickly after building the stacks or lose the chance to use the skill. And that just isn't fun and makes the skill cumbersome to use. Personally I would love the skill remain Spectral Arrow until I use it, and not just have duration; or at the very least increase the duration.
Anyhow that's just my personal opinion of the skill. So overall while the skill is fun; the long ramp up before use, quick reversion of the skill makes it at times annoying to use and dampens the skills enjoyment.
