Just read everything Hawk wrote here, but haven't found an answer to this yet, sorry if i missed it.
How much will the cast times be reduced for each power given +22% tohit?
A friend ingame said that each power gets the interrupt time cut away, dropping their current cast times by 3 seconds, leaving for example AR/Snipe Shot below 1 second and Fire/Blazing Bolt at around 1.5 seconds.
Is that right or get all snipes set to the same, flat number ? Or neither of those ?
Second, since I just read this thread:

Obviously there will still be times when you use BU and Aim together for a really big alpha nuke from stealth or something, but if you're doing that, chances are Sniping wouldn't have been that important to you during that pull anyway.

A while ago, I tried to figure out how to best use build up and aim.
The result was that if i use them while hitting a hard target such as an av, my dps
drops if I use either, build up can help a bit before defiance kicks into full gear, but aim is only worth it if used before attacking. This applies to a fairly tricked out fire/fire blaster.
If you want me to, I can explain why or even share my calculations that got me that result - but that would be a
huge wall of text.
