Right, because the spell ended. Not because of the dispel affected the item itself. It's no different than if your GMW had worn off normally.

It's more like you're saying a beagle is not a dog. A gish-in-a-can is a type of gish. You have yet to produce a definition that says "it it's not 16 BAB and 9th-level spells it's not a gish," but I can certainly pull up plenty of posts where Duskblades and Psywars are referred to as gishes, and Magi too. The community defines terms, not you.
