The increase in cooldown time is only affected by the number of Ways that you currently have activated; the rank of those Ways makes no difference.

So, while it would take a longer amount of time to earn the Focus points needed to rank up the Way you start out with, it actually would benefit you more (i.e. using "Mending Tides" from the Vazarin tree as an example, unranked gives you 5 healing pulses of 250 health over 10 seconds -vs- 10 pulses of 250 health over 20 seconds at max rank) for the exact same cooldown time.
