Think of it this way: you cast Haunt now any DOTS you cast after get the synergy effect, however you have wasted 1 1 1/2 seconds that you could be damaging your opponent casting Immolate.
If you cast Haunt and them immediately cast DOTS those DOTS are ticking while you cast Immolate. The other way there are no DOTS up to work with Haunt until AFTER you cast Immolate. So just pure math your DPS is going to be higher casting the DOTS first (as they get another 1- 1 1/2 seconds to tick) before casting Immolate.

While I can see where you're coming from, this would probably not hold true in a raid environment. The reason I say this is because most fights are not just tank and spank, you have to consistently(for lack of better words) be moving, being able to cast those two simultaneously constantly throughout the entire fight makes the rotation much much easier(plus I macro them together), which in turn could make your dps better. Though I do not have rotation problems, I could see that rotation possibly causing them.
