When you use Secret of Celerity, do have to trigger the ability twice, or will it automatically do a double attack?

Back at the end of beta I played around with the skill for about 20 minutes with a buffed-to-level-30 monk.  Found the skill to be broken as I do not notice ANY form of extra damage.  May be bugged if the extra dmg was not showing or something.

But then we havnt heard anyone level30+ complaining about it so I guess it's not broke now.

As far as I can tell, secret of celerity only applies my proc damage twice.  Unless the combat log is misinforming me, it did not add a double attack to my auto attack or combat arts.  Which is a real shame because i saved it for kronus today and every single CA I used in those 20 seconds critted, or very nearly so.  Think i made it thorugh 3 full crit chains before it was up. 

Seems like a pretty worthless skill in its current to state, not to mention the ungodly long 30m refresh timer.

Its hard to play around with it and do extensive tests due to its laughable refresh time but I have the same experience as Calibix, pretty useless right now.

How about the other secrets, anyone managed to stun/interupt/freeze a mob with Ice and how rare is the DoT proc with fire really. I think Fire/Ice adds a 'reasonable' amount of damage when used correctly but as long as they dont do what's promised in the description I add them to the "in need of fixing" cathegory.

Also, secret of celerity just started working for me yesterday.  Was really nice, it basically says you strike quicly for an additional X damage anytime you use a CA, where X is roughly the amount you hit for with that CA.  Doesn't seem to help procs, that's just a bug w/ storm dragon displaying twice, nor does it seem to affect autoattack.  Still think 30m refresh is way too high.  It only last 20 seconds, your only gonna be able to get off about 7-8 attacks tops (unless you have renewal froma  cleric) in that time.  I think 15m would be much more reasonable.
