I didn't use any abilities.  I'm staring at the Death Strike icon, waiting
for its cooldown to finish.  It's almost ready, and then the cooldown gets
extended by a few seconds.  I didn't press any buttons; it happens all on
its own.

If Death runes can expire, then that explains it.  Let's say I have a
Death (which was originally Blood) rune available, a Frost rune cd
finishing in one second and an Unholy rune cd finishing in three seconds.

In that case, the cooldown on Death Strike would show one second.  But
during that second the Death rune reverts back to a Blood rune, so now I
have to wait a further two seconds for the Unholy rune to finish.

(I'm curious -- where does it say that Death runes can expire?  The Blood
specialization talent window just says that when you Death Strike, the
Unholy and Frost runes come back as Death runes; it doesn't mention any
time limit.)
