All around pointless skill
Suggestion
Cost 4 adrenaline, 4 sec recharge
Skill. For 0..12..15 seconds, target ally attacks and moves 10..25% faster. Inpirational Speech ends if you successfully hit with an attack.
This suggested change includes many fail-safes:
Paragon who casted it can't attack, and since paragon has same auto-attack DPS as warrior, you are losing 100% of warrior DPS, to boost some other guy's DPS by 33%. So using this on a paragon with decent spear mastery is pure waste, since just auto-attacking you are contributing more than whoever you used this on.
It requires high spec to be effective.
It requires adrenaline to cast. It ends on attacking. Get my point?
A caster using this has short duration, needs to build adrenaline, and bonus is smaller at low spec to the point of being pointless. A caster building adrenaline is a caster not casting.
Warriors have easily available 33% IAS and 25% speed boost, that doesn't tie up paragon.
With target ally instead of target other ally, this also doubles as a 2nd rate speed boost for the paragon himself.

Arcdash's Issue/Suggestion

Yeah, like above, this is pretty useless., losing all adrenaline to give an ally some adrenaline.
Suggestion, and this is an idea for all the motivation line
TARGETED HEALING ADRENALING SHOUTS/CHANTS.
While preventing stacking and making the paragon less broken/abused, this idea could be applied to all of the motivation line to make them viable healers. Sure, they still wouldn't have energy problems, but if adrenaline powered heals have a recharge, they must be used sparingly, since they take longer to build up then energy-based healing. For this skill in particular:

Shout - Target other ally gains 1..3..4 health regeneration and gains 2..6..8 health per second.
