I was wondering if due to the fact that dots are affected by haste only when they are first cast is it a dps gain to recast dots such as Corruption, Unstable Affliction, and Haunt during haste procs. Also with the felhunter being the pet of choice at this time is it better to channel drain life during Demon Soul or just keep spamming Shadow Bolt. The last question I have is that as an affliction lock what is the best use for Soulburn during an encounter.
Once again thank you for taking the time to consider my post.
Even biggest temporary haste buffs would only benefit your DoTs a few extra ticks, definitely not making it worth the global it takes to recast them if it means you have to hard-clip them. Regarding Drain Life, it probably won't be a good idea any more after the hotfix nerf, but they didn't update Simcraft for it yet so I can't tell for sure. Soulburn: Soul Fire still works well when you have to move and the other stuff is a bit situational.
