I cant even really imagine how fast wrath/LB would be with that amount of haste + the other haste abilities druids have/are getting

I'll help you imagine how fast a balance druid could be:
- 5% passive haste in moonkin form
- 15% haste from Eclipse
- 20% haste from Troll racial
- 162.5% from mace on use
- ca 18% from prof on use
- almost 10% from enchants

Not counting in gear at all that is 230% haste if it adds (if not it is crazy):
- Wrath from 2s to .6s cast
- Starfire from 2.7s to .8s cast

for cast spells, going under the 1.0 sec GCD is counter productive. You wouldnt need the troll racial or lifeblood.

on topic, the Manual Crowd Pummeler used to be used up, but is now a CD which enables you to enchant it, or even throw a 20 haste on it without wasting mats.

regarding its CD, has anyone checked to see if the CD is weapon specific? for example can you farm these and weapon swap a new one in to reset your use CD?

True. Mace on use effect, passive moonkin bonus and gear is enough to push starfire to 1 sec cast. When mace is on cd, you'd still be casting wrath at less than 1.2 sec using the remaining speed buffs (ca 70% haste).

I'm pretty sure someone tested to see if the cd was weapon spesific and it was not.
