Actually, FA activates and hits almost instantaneously after brandish's 2nd hit. It's just that there's a slight delay after it hits (so it's not like FA has no cast time).
You can see it here in this video (skip to about 1:10): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpgIboK3bcg
It hits much faster than a regular fighter's FA. I have a crusader and yes, it's extremely annoying to get knocked back and your FA activates, wasting time and such. But this FA with brandish seems to activate instantly, so if your brandish hits then your FA hits.
Or at least thats what it looks like
