Cast While Channeling's Cast Interval - Interaction With Triggered Spell's Cast Time

Hello. Greetings from a newbie.

Let's say I have the following setup with CWC:

Cyclone - CWC lvl 18 - Desecrate - Volatile Dead

Now, from the wiki we have:

"
Trigger a Supported Spell every (0.45-0.35) seconds while Channelling Supported Skills


in which with level 18 CWC, i get Desecrate and Volatile Dead casted within 0.36 second interval, that is, with trigger priority in mind, Desecrate casted first followed by Volatile Dead.

From the wiki we have:

"
Desecrate
=========
Cast Time: 0.60 sec


and

"
Volatile Dead
=============
Cast Time: 0.80 sec


My questions are:

1.) Would CWC's cast interval override the triggered spells' cast time?
2.) If yes, would that mean that triggered spell will be triggered regardless of their cast time including their increases/reductions to cast speed?
3.) If not, would that mean, that in some CWC interval, some spells would be completely skipped/discarded/not casted because their cast time simply do not match the interval?

Thanks for any replies!

Cast while Channeling completely ignores the cast time of linked spells. It will cast one spell per interval exactly at that interval, and if multiple spells are linked it will cast the next spell in the links at the next interval and so on.
I have a pretty good sense of humor. I'm not German.
Thank you for confirming! I guess the only way to shorten the interval is by progressing the CWC gem. Too bad. :D.. but i guess we cant always get what we want..
Increased action speed, scarce as it is, may possibly reduce the interval. But I don't believe it does. Fairly certain the interval is fixed based on gem level and otherwise unchangeable. So socketing it in a +gem lvl item would be the only way to reduce it further.

Increased action speed....would be nice if they just summed up all the mods that increase movement speed, attack speed, and cast speed by x% as action speed, but meh.

As others have said, CWC ignores the casted spells cast time, making it instant like other triggered spells do. They will be cast in order, so if you link Desecrate and VD, if CWC triggers every .35s, each skill will individually trigger every .7 seconds and alternate. When you trigger a spell it retains its cool down and cannot be retriggered until the cool down expires.
