Are there plans to see ICD's?

I get that you didn’t want us having too much clutter when we’re busy dealing with Elementalists, but is there a way to add more traits to status screen to see them or something?
Like to know when Panic strike is about to get off recharge, or the ICD on Arcane block and so forth?
I think as it is now, for optimal play (that I doubt anyone will bother to do because it’s too much work) I’d assume you’d have 3 stop watches or something to know when your trait is back up…

I would love to find of a solution to this problem. Its a big barrier for new players learning the game.
Brain dump:
How many of your own cooldowns must you know to be effective. Skills? Traits? Sigils? Runes? Attunements? Kits? Transforms? Everything?
How many cooldowns are too many cooldowns / whats the minimum number to know?
Same question for enemies. How much skill is involved with remembering enemy cooldowns?
Would this new piece of UI benefit PvE the same amount?
Where could this UI live?
First thing that pops into my mind would look just like the quick-loot tray on the right side of the screen with a scrolling list of ordered cooldowns showing name/icon. (No loot in PvP)
I can’t think of any way this could work for enemies.

Mods are much more flexible because people can pick and choose exactly what version they prefer. Since we don’t have that luxury, we need a catch-all solution. Or customizable UI.
