recovery doesnt delay your auto attack. it takes you .5 sec to recover from any attack before your next one can go off, recovery lowers that so it takes less time between attacks.

Wrong.
Recovery time does delay auto-attack swings. The thing is that auto-attack hits the instant you are no longer casting/recovering so that even queueing CAs will tend to result in auto-attack fitting itself between end of recovery/beginning of next spell.
and how does faster recovery delay your auto attack? faster recovery would be highly helpful since it would take less time for your auto attack to go off. no one should be queueing CA's since in doing so you can miss your auto attack.
faster recovery wont delay your auto atack but you do have to wait for recovery to finish before you will swing i think theres a bit of confusion as to what the op was actualy asking and how you answered
you have to wait for cast time + recovery time to finish bofore your auto atack will swing
reducing eather casting time or recovery wont hamper your auto atack though
hope that clerifys things some
Tested by resetting Warrior tree (no more increase recovery), using a CA, letting autoattack go off, and checking ACT to see if it went off the same second that the CA did.
In about 50% of the cases, autoattack went off a second after the CA hit. Since recovery on our CAs is .5 seconds, that would indicate that autoattack goes off after recovery.
Checked this back in RoK, Dragoon Reflexes has some ridiculous recovery time like 7 seconds. Turn auto attack on against a training dummy attack a few times hit reflexes and you won't attack for the durration of the recovery time, that's the only spell with a significant recovery time where it's easily tested.
