Spell power pots still use up a Global Cooldown

Armitas

Currently spell power pots are acting like skills. They cancel your heavy attacks when you drink them, and give you a global cooldown before you can use a skill or charge an attack. This has been the case since 1.6.

I was really hoping they would be fixed in 1.7 but they are still the same. Are there any plans to make them work like potions instead of skills?
