Why would you EVER need to use more than 3 abilities?!

Not necessarily a good comparison. Not only can some people (including myself) do them both in the same amount of time but unless it takes longer than a GCD or longer than a cast you are attempting to interrupt, it's moot.

I mostly click abilities. I also turn with the mouse and don't spend a lot of time looking at the quickbars. I don't feel gimped at all in PVE content. Most of the time I've already clicked on something before it was ready. I think keybinders who claim clickers are gimped in PVE are just being stubborn with a "holier than thou" attitude.
In PVP, with much faster action and mobile opponents, it's entirely different, and very difficult as a melee DPS class to click. Basically, I don't do warzones, except a few times to try it out. I'd be really impressed by anyone can do really well as a melee class clicker in warzones.

probably about the same speed as im constantly clicking non stop so there is no real time involved.

on WoW you couldnt click because of the action bar being all over the place but on this game i think it works really well.

Sorry-- I am extremely obtuse.

I am trying to figure out how it is possible to move a mouse and click faster than it is possible to type.

@clickers - would you prefer clicking letters on an onscreen keyboard than typing on a physical keyboard?

I can understand if its towards the slower clicking people because I know a few people like that and it annoys me to watch them play :P
It's impossible to play as well clicking as you can with hotkeys. Hotkeys are physically faster to press and don't require you to stare at your skill bar. Hoever fast you think you are, you would be twice as fast and a lot less distracted using hotkeys. Clicking is basically admitting that you never want to reach your full potential as a player.

Edit: I'll give an example. People can type at over 200 words per minute. I'll assume smallish medium size words of let's say 4 letters long. Do you really think it's possible to click 800 skills a minute?

Let's put this another way. There are no professional MMO gamers so I'll use RTS as the closest substitute as far as the kind of hand movements required. Why do you think there are no professional clickers in Starcraft/SC2?
