To be fair, Van Sciver's plotting this too, and since he's one of DC's top dogs in terms of art, Gail might just be having to play along and supply dialogue. So maybe the faster and less cohesive pace is down to him?

That said, I've never been that impressed by Gail anyway. She does nice dialogue, and I love some of her characters, especially Scandal, but her plots always seem kinda light, to me, and not very aspirational, if that makes sense? And I really wasn't impressed with the on-the-nose dialogue of Batgirl #1...
