I think you're giving them (SS) too much credit. There will be no math to figure out and no knowledge to share. People will have their SS on auto-cast or spam them manually and keep the effect on at all times during combat. You fill your inventory, fight and re-stock when you run dry. No added gameplay value, no added strategy.
Someone said they have a substantial cooldown in Aion and that's alright by me. A short-duration 10% damage boost every few minutes I find quite acceptable, though a consumable that only boosts your damage seems like a pretty poorly designed consumable because it will have to be used proactively rather than reactively, once again eliminating most if not all strategy from the concept.
