This was answered a long time ago by a Dev or a forum rep (I forget), but the GCD in place prevents tons of issues with automatic botting and automatic ability use. IICR, the example that was given was the scripted ability to switch Paladin's auras from Devotion to Sanctity, back and forth to coincide with when the Pally would be hit by a mob (Devotion), and when he would strike back with the holy dmg bonus (Sanctity). GCD prevents things like this from happening.
