Scarab + Blessed Band = 30 + 320 = 350 haste rating, or 350/21 = 16.66% haste (21:1 conversion post 2.1).
On a 1.5 second spell, that reduces you to 1.28 seconds cast time.
If you don't /stopcast (and healers typically don't), it's entirely reasonable to believe that lag is accounting for you not hitting GCD.
edit: From what I've seen, haste *effects* (those effects that have a fixed % boost) reduce the GCD. Haste *rating* does not.
