haunt, Immo and UA are always applied together, so you run that rotation and that gives you lots of time to look around. Thats 5 seconds(not taking into account haste etc.) to look around while casting. Leaving only Curse of Agony and sili to really watch.
I know you have to take into account moving out of fire ect, but still this rotation works excelent for me.
I see no reason to "fix" aff rotations, been running this for a while and once you get a feel for it and how long your dots last it gets easier. I rarely stare at my timers anymore, I'll glance at them once in to get a feel for where I'm at, or to time my Immo late so that it hits the second it's done but that's about it now. Like anything it just takes practice.

By throwing Haunt later, DoTs will be affected instantly, and you don't have to waste any time casting spells to get the bonus. Also by throwing haunt later, you are actually extending the duration of your first corruption because of Everlasting affliction.
The only positive thing about casting Haunt first is the fact that it causes the Shadow Embrace effect. Other than that, I can't see a reason to do it.

2 reasons to cast Haunt befor your DoTs. 1. You stack SE with a SB opener which gives you 10% to DoTs. 2. you gain the 20% to your DoTs FULL length, rather than halfway through. That's 30% to all your DoTs for their full duration if you use my rotation.
If you cast corr, immo, ua, sili, Curse of Agony, then haunt you corruption has almost finished with NO bonus damage. Definatly seems worth casting Haunt first.
