So apparently it would take like 505 skill speed to reduce GCD by .5 which could be put up for debate if it's worth it or not. Especially since in the longer boss fights, TP management becomes more of an issue. In which case, spamming all of your skills as fast as you can may not be the best idea.
I can see s. Speed good for a thaumaturge or a conjurer, either for more damage (considering thaumaturges dont have mana issues) and for emergency heals.
Does Skills speed reduce the auto attack speed as well?
I don't believe it does. Auto attack speed is determined by the delay on your weapon. Lancer does get a TP recovery skill, but it's only like 300 and with jobs you're limited to two specific classes you can pull skills from.
With that being said, Bard does get a TP regen skill and an MP regen skill for the whole party.

Yeah, it has various stats depending on the type of materia. So there is some materia that has skill speed, but they said there would be stat caps on materia, so we're not sure how high you can stack yet.
