WoW already suffers greatly from the latency monster. Every 100ms latency detrimentally effects your performance, with some specs by quite a lot. Removing gcd would just make this problem worse. If the gcd was removed, the fights would be so fine tuned that anyone over around 150ms may as well boot up Bejeweled, because WoW dungeons would be 2-3 times harder than for the lower latency players, and raiding would just be insane. Do some checking of network performance vs raiding performance (look at logs for Oceanic guilds compared to US ones in raids) and you will understand that WoW isn't balanced, it's completely off kilter.
