I concur. They need to make the cooldown period shorter. It is ridiculous how long things keep burning or electrified or whatever. I don't even like to cast rain anymore, because I know it will almost certainly result in huge pools around my characters as well, electrifying everyone. Those statuses should last maybe 2 rounds. They shouldn't remain there the entire fight, with some of them continuing even after you have won... then I spend time just trying to clear electrified water so I can walk, or literally putting out fires.
