Also you have to allow 0.1-0.3 sec of reaction on whether your last special "got through" which would make powershfting highly skilled requiring very good reaction and hence the opposite of my inital theory!

Ok, so, assuming you have the requisite skill and reaction, isn't it good?
You seem to be arguing that powershifting isn't good for those who lack the timing or reaction to utilize it, and I don't think anyone is disagreeing.
Assuming one
has the timing,
has the reaction speed required for it, wouldn't it behoove them to use it to their fullest?
Also, and yes, I find this irritating, shifting out allows us to use certain consumables that, due to our absurd class limitation, we generally do not get the benefit of, such as Drums, haste pots, or Heroic potions. Yes, we lose, like you said, 2-3 white hits in cat, but I think those specific consumables mentioned more than make up the difference within the 15-30 seconds they affect us in cat.
