Lets do the maths then.
at 13 Shadow arts, it lasts for 27 seconds, and an additional 5 seconds with a 20% enchantment weapon. (27+5.4(~5) = total 32 seconds)
Essence of Celerity reduces the recharge with 25%, and Deadly Paradox reduces it with 33%, however, the max cap is 50%, so the recharge gets reduced with 50%, which equals in 60/2 = 30.
2 Seconds

Yup, you basically have to cast it right away. It begins flashing before its done recharging.

Mr. Kotte nailed it on the head. For an ele the time frame between Shadow Form casts is pretty slim so you can't potter around casting damage spells when Shadow Form is recharged like you can on a perma sin.

You have to cast Deadly Paradox and Shadow Form whenever Shadow Form is recharged and pray to the lord above that you won't get a lag spike otherwise you'll probably be the target of a bunch of necros, terras and sins with pitchforks and torches for dying. Maybe some hate-mail in there too.

Remember that Grail of Might will be up which extends Shadow Arts from 12 --> 13. At 12 Shadow Arts, Shadow Form's duration would be exactly 30 seconds (with a +20% enchanting weapon) meaning that you're likely to be killed between casts.
