He's fine as it is. Global 8% CDR, seriously? That is one overpowered passive. He's great as a hybrid AP caster/support role, with the latter mainly revolving about permaslowing enemies/bringing teammates of high importance back to almost full health (reviving your AD carry during a teamfight is really priceless). He's much better at being offensive than a support, though. Change to his Q hurt his assist count pretty badly anyway, as now you won't get an assist for just placing a bomb on an enemy due to the true damage being removed. Skillfully placed bombs can really make a difference in a fight (Not even mentioning that R on ~30 second cooldown). Zilean just screams to build heavy AP on him.

Rewind is mainly for permaslow/permahaste as well as keeping his ult on a ridiculously low cooldown. That's a good thing - changing the way rewind works would basically screw up the rest of Zilean's kit. Reducing CD on teammates would be OP as fuck anyway (unless the amount would be so low that the skill itself would become useless for Zilean himself).

People want a rework on him because he doesn't really fit in the current gameplay. Niches? None. And that's what makes him unique. He would lose a lot of his potential if things were different on that matter, actually.

And I'd NEVER want to see any more support-oriented skills on him. He's not Janna.
