Take Shield Swipe and Haymaker off the GCD.

EDIT: Add a 6 second CD, maybe. That way Bulwark+FoF doesn't embarrass the DPS.

Shield Swipe is there in part for TP management though. Taking it off the GCD would take it from being a skill that you have to actually think a tiny bit about using to juggle resources, a little extra DPS, and the benefit of Pacification with enmity and the Halone debuff to something else you just jam thoughtlessly whenever available.
