And here's the reason why this will probably never happen - one more time:
If the Devs allowed us to have a second auto-firing power it would be that much easier for people to create non-player "bot" characters that could follow other characters around. Sure I agree it'd be nice to have this capability in principle. But because it would be something that could so easily be abused I would frankly be shocked to ever see it happen.
Hope that answers the "mystery" behind why this hasn't happened yet.

'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

And I prefer the click mez protection. Run out of END (or get drained?) Still protected. Easily stackable, generally fire-and-forget.

Know what might work?
Flagging specific abilities like self affecting powers as allowing more than 1 autofire... things like hasten and click mez protection but not attacks or other foe defeating/ccing/debuffing powers.

The problem with them is, if you happen to be defeated shortly after the power has been activated and then rez, you're left without mez protection until the power comes back up.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

It's also possible to delay it if you're attacking furiously and always have something else queued, but that's more avoidable.

Since no one else has mentioned it yet, OP, you can bind whatever power you want as a second "auto" to a movement key or mouse click, and it will fire off as you move about and/or click things. It's a...awkward solution, but it works to keep Rage and hasten up on my tank.

For such a conceptually small thing, it certainly is a nuisance, and easily within the long-overdue quality-of-life category. I don't know how many hundreds of times it's been requested in the last several years, but here's one more plea.
Please try MA arc ID 351455, "Shard Stories: Scavenger's Hunt." Originally created for the Dr. Aeon contest, it explores the wild potential of one of the City's most concept-rich but content-poor settings: the Shadow Shard.
