Divine Ire Auto-Cast Option at 20 stacks

A minor quality of life suggestion for Divine Ire: when I'm stacking high cast rate on Divine Ire builds (especially with things like Fanaticism with its 75% More Cast Speed buff), I find that I can get in an awkward place where I lose a good amount of damage because my Divine Ire fills up to 20 quickly, I have to release my channeling button for it to fire, and then press it again to start channeling. There's several delays here: me noticing I'm at 20 charges, me releasing/pressing the channeling key again, the delay involved in the key presses, etc. Not to mention having to do this a lot feels like I'm mashing the Divine Ire button a lot (usually Q for me).

It'd be nice if a jewel or alternate quality gem gave Divine Ire something like the following:

Divine Ire automatically casts at 20 stacks and immediately resumes channeling

In other words, if my Divine Ire is on Q, I can just hold Q and it'll charge to 20, fire, charge to 20, fire, charge to 20, fire, etc. This wouldn't be as useful for low charge rates (if it takes you a few seconds to charge to 20, then you probably need to move anyway to avoid boss attacks or because all the monsters are dead), but if you have very high charge rates (Fanaticism gets me to 20 in under a second!), then this is a very nice QoL buff for Divine Ire in boss fights. It may be a bit niche, but there's plenty of content that would like this buff: any beefy boss/Rare monster fight, Blighted maps, any mechanic where waves of enemies spawn at you (like some Delve nodes, Beyond, Abyss, Ritual), etc.

It's a small ask, but getting this option would be really nice and would make high cast speed Divine Ire feel much less clunky and more useful as a bossing skill (as it clearly seems to be designed for).
