I will give some straight feedback + suggestions instead of disguising them into questions (except for #2, which has a question). I hope you don't mind.
1) Global cool-down should only apply to abilities. Any other activity (like swapping weapons) when done from action bar should not bring global cool-down, for it discourages hybriding and variety in combat. In the live game things like equipping items and activating special attacks / prayers do not interfere that way either.
2) Is there a way to get someone on the target interface while not in combat? In BTS video #3 the guy in full dragon has apparently done it, because he uses Barge from out of combat. It means he had the target selected before the fight, while I only seem to achieve that by doing a regular attack first. Abilities like Barge, Snipe and many others would be excellent ways to start a fight. Could be this way: click to select target & click on already selected target to attack (double click to simply attack), or click = attack & Ctrl+click = select target, or any other simple combination.
3) Changing action bars has too long delay. After clicking on the arrow or shift+(number) it takes more than a second for the other bar to appear, often 1 click is not even enough. Changing between them fast during combat is vital. On the other hand changing between other interfaces such as Inventory (key f4) and Prayers (f3) happens immediately, as if they are already loaded into memory (opposed to action bars, which content seems to be "loaded" each time you change them).
4) Remove the message that target is too far (or too close) to use an ability, and make the character move to appropriate distance automatically, as it does with regular attacks.
5) The effects of curse spells in the regular spellbook (both low/high level versions) are in my opinion too minuscule to be considered to use. Performing some short cool-down abilities or even auto-attacks instead of curses seems to have more impact.
