Paladin Aura Updates

on #development-announcements channel

The cooldown on switching auras is now shown in SPELL ACTIVE and in Wraythe as a Cooldown.
The cooldown on switching auras is reduced from 60 seconds to 30 seconds.
Aura spell cast RT reduced from 3 seconds to 1 second when switching auras.
Aura spell mana cost reduced to static cost of 5 mana when switching auras.
Attempting to switch an aura during cooldown costs no mana but still imposes 1 second cast RT. Casting an aura when no other aura is active still incurs 3 second cast RT.
SPELL AURA # allows the default aura to be specified for the purposes of MANA SPELLUP
Auras affecting group members are no longer as spammy to third parties.

Switching auras is defined as casting a new aura when an existing aura is already active. If no other aura is active, normal mana cost and cast RT apply.
