Place on the 'to-do' list

There is one thing that always gets me
is, even if your prof. in hand wraps
but are not a monk/fist pally, you still
end up with the VERY slow attack animation you
normally get if your not prof.

Baring odd character classes 'like the iconic barb'
there should be 3 types of hand wrap attack animations.

Fastest - monk/fist pally Martial Arts style
Medium - Hand wrap prof. boxer style < NEW
slow - untrained brawler style

Even if you not a monk type, if you
are trained in hand wraps, you should at
least be as fast on the attack as any other
light weapon.

I believe that to be intentional to keep only builds with proper requirements able to use them

[fatherpirate]

considering the addition of the shifter Iconic, your point is mute.

You used to be able to attack really fast with your fists if you had no monk levels, I had a couple builds built around this fact, but apparently the devs thought it was too OP, so they nerfed it, and now we have this.

Aside from the "Fist-A-Din" jokes, there's not much going on there. I can see playing that solely for the tiny PL bonus,
but I think doing a split to get it over with, and skipping a punch build entirely might be faster.

On a design point, I think an exclusion tree sticking with one class, and using (Normal, Iconic, Archetype) would have been easier.
