Yeah, the slow recharge can be quite annoying at lower levels. When I was levelling my Inv/Mace up ages back I ended up taking Jump Kick as my travel power pre-requisite just to fill the big hole in my attack chain. Things improved once I got a few more Mace powers to fill out my chain (I was happy to be able to respec out of Jump Kick) but I still slotted pretty much every mace attack apart from Bash for recharge - it's handy to always have an attack available for aggro grabbing on teams or for working through the mobs while solo.

Things do get a lot better with SOs.
I wouldn't panic just yet.
(unless you took 'Jump Kick'...) 
Air Superiority is a nice fast-recharging filler attack and will somewhat increase your survivability, it's even just about damaging enough to justify the weapon redraw animation.

To make it worse, it was actually an informed decision 
I re-rolled my tanker (my first character btw) at lvl 14 due to changing accounts so second time around I picked up Jump Kick instead of Combat Jumping because I knew I needed something to keep me occupied while waiting for attacks to recharge. I did the same on my MA scrapper (more DOOOOOOOOM? 
) and respecced out Jump Kick once I had enough of an attack chain to keep me attacking all the time. I am a huge fan of Air Superiority as an attack but back in the day I was more of a fan of Super Jump so went for Jump Kick as a temporary filler.

Slot jawbreaker and pulverize. Apart from those, your defenses.

I can actually picture Gen disco-kicking the baddies now.
Well I guess it fits in with his cossie...
What was it you called Eddie Izzard's character in Mystery Men?
For some reason that's who Gen reminds me of: Casanova Frankenstein's disco flunky.
