Autocast Special Abilities

I would prefer that there be no button-activated special abilities at all.
Please include an option for autocasting, however, if such features are deemed necessary.
Sins of a Solar Empire employs an admirable autocasting mechanic for special abilities on capital ships.
World in Conflict, LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth, and Warcraft 3 all implemented special abilities quite poorly. I do not want to gain a tactical advantage by waiting for some ability to recharge whereupon I need to press another button for a singular unit.
Latent special abilities could develop as a result of combat experience, quest completion, or some other player-controlled investment. Improvements could include some fundamental concepts:
Morale
Attack Strength
Defense Strength|||Agreed, its just bloody annoying to be forced to sit there and cast spells all day.
