Dragoncall and spectral orbs

[898964_1452550644]

I don't think I am understanding this tooltip correctly.

 

"On hit, decreases Dragoncall cooldown by 1 sec per spectral orb."

 

Now, level 24. Get 3 spectral orbs on with Wingstorm then use Dragoncall. CD is 18 seconds whether or not I have any spectral orbs.

 

What am I doing wrong?

When DC goes on cooldown, each time you generate an orb it lowera the cd allowing for another cast. Extremely helpful during siphon when DC is an instant cast.

I don't think this is correct, I just tested it out to verify. 

For the cooldown of dragoncall, the orbs are only consumed if the mob does not die.  And conversely the orbs are only generated, if the attack that generates them doesn't kill the mob.

 

If the mob dies, then no reduction or creation happens.

In siphon the cooldown reduction comes from rupture, it inherently reduces the cooldown by 1 or 3 seconds depending on points spent, rupture also generates orbs but the generation of the orbs doesn't reduce the cooldown, i.e. if you have max orbs rupture still reduces the cooldown even if no orbs are generated.
