Sorceror's offensive spells are all 3 second cast area effects.
Bolt spells had their cast times halved.
Arch Bishops gain some relatively fast-casting offensive spells.
Shuras... well, even with Asura not being capable of being instant anymore, it's hard to say they're 'suffering', plus most of their skills are instant.
Royal Guards don't really need to worry much about cast time since they have a new, no-cast method of mob-levelling.
And Shadow Chasers that cast get to ignore cast times with Auto Shadow Spell. (I've seen it done, one solo'ing in Nameless with Meteor Storm Plagiarized and used for Auto Shadow spell, and Highness Heal reproduced.)
Bragi still affects Cast Delay and variable cast time, which is highly potent when combined with AB's Sacrament, which halves all fixed cast time.
Plus let's not mention there could be a whole slew of fixed cast time reduction gears in the waiting. (I've seen a screenshot of a body armor that removes 3% of the fixed portion of your cast.)
And in response to the 'relative to exp' thing, I've read that most people fight things 4-5 levels above them without much difficulty. (Plus, monster spawn points were changed as well as monster levels, AI, stats, etc.)
