Okay, so to make sure I understand what you are saying:

Right now in 3.2, if I link Mirror Arrow with Trap Support, the 3s cool-down of Mirror Arrow is still applied when I throw a Trap. This cool-down DOESN'T work the same as self-cast and instead, because of traps, it lets you bypass this base cool-down and cast multiple times, because it's instead being changed to match the cool-down of the charge system. Since this is 4s and Mirror Arrow is 3s, the CD is "hidden". So you could throw 1/3/4/7 traps at a time without triggering the 3s base CD, and throw your 3 charges without triggering this base CD as well. Meaning, while ignoring the 3s base CD of Mirror Arrow, you'd be able to realistically get 21 down instantly because getting any charges back with Multi+Cluster.

Is that correct?

I'm not at my PC to verify, but what I said above is what you are saying happens now, right?

3.2 traps for mirror/blink:

Mirror + trap support: 1 trap thrown, 4 second cooldown.
Mirror + trap support + multiple: 3 trap thrown, 4 second cooldown.
Mirror + trap support + cluster: 4 trap thrown, 4 second cooldown.
Mirror + trap support + multiple + cluster: 6 trap thrown, 4 second cooldown. (not practical)

Mirror arrow cooldown: 3 seconds, Trap support cooldown: 4 seconds. Highest cooldown will be used.
6 traps thrown at once causes too much -less damage therefore it really shouldn't be considered practical. So, let's assume we throw 4 traps at once.

3 charges x 4 = 12 traps with trap throwing speed this can be done relatively quick. Now let's also assume we have blink arrow on top of mirror arrow. In combination that is 6 x 4 = 24 traps. With a cooldown of 4 seconds by the time we extend both of them we can at the very least have 2 additional charges (1 from mirror will recharge, 1 from blink will recharge nearly) this is how we get to 30 traps in a 5 second span due to throw time, trigger time, and recharge time.

Build focused on duration and cooldown in 3.2 ~ and example of cooldown of base skill 4/s a charge.



3.3 traps for mirror/blink:

Mirror + trap support: 1 trap thrown, 3 second cooldown.
Mirror + trap support + multiple: 3 trap thrown, 3 second cooldown.
Mirror + trap support + cluster: 4 trap thrown, 3 second cooldown.
Mirror + trap support + multiple + cluster: 6 trap thrown, 3 second cooldown.

1 use x 4 = 4 traps. Assuming blink arrow in combination that is 2 x 4 = 8 traps. By the end of it blink and mirror will still be on cool down because it does not take 3 seconds to 2 traps thus causing down time every 8 traps thrown.

Math is hard if I'm mathing correctly that would be 100 - ((8/30) x 100) = 73.3 less effective or rather if you prefer only 26.6% of what was originally possible. Mind you this also doesn't take into effect cooldown which will only make this number much less than 26.6 in terms of effectiveness. Incredibly that is... So, 26.6% effective assuming you use base cooldown. If you're taking into account cooldown nerfs... or current version cooldown effectiveness would probably be less than 10.

Bonus pic: Reference of mine functionality with blink: (3 second cooldown and no charges) current 3.2
