I'd have to disagree, while it would give Annie a clearly defined CC period which I normally would enjoy, one of her cores strengths is the fact that she has the stun up. This could be gated instead of having a period of strength, this could instead be gated by the abilities themselves. As much as some people dislike the skill-shot changes, I think that it's possible for Annie to have her strongsuit of having a clear stun by having clearly dodgable/interpretable abilities, this removes the frustration of the enemy by saying "Oh okay I know I could've dodged that." This also fits in with the W-delay that you've added.

Another way I feel would be that the abilities' themselves add to Pyromania's passive. e.g when Annie casts a spell she gains a Pyromania stun. These stacks can be consumed by damaging an enemy champion, adding a 0.25s stun for each Pyromania stack. These stacks decay rapidly. Either you stun-stack, leaving your enemies prone but also reduce your burst or you burst but have little duration. You could also have the idea of prepping for your stun which you seem insistant on. This would also add the clear period of a duration like you intend.
