Use your cooldowns effectively. don't wait (too long) for anything to happen first.
Every second you do not activate BF & Abacus is a second lost.

Of course you have to wait until the tank has a comfortable advance in threat, but after that point, if you are sure you have 20 seconds of uninterrupted damage, activate BF and your trinkets.


Small example:
SnD is considered to be always active and therefore doesn't matter. A 2.6 weapon with SnD is 2.6/1.3 = 2 speed, so let's assume this speed.

Assumption
2.00 speed
0.5 swings / second
1 minute fight = 30 swings / minute

With BF
2/1.2= 1.67 speed
0.6 swings / second for 20 seconds
0.6*20 + 0.5*40 = 32 swings / minute

With BF and Abacus at the same time
2/((1.2)*(1+(260/10.52/100)))= 1.34 speed
0.748 swings/s for 10 seconds
0.6 swings/s for 10 seconds
0.748*10 + 0.6*10 + 0.5*40 = 33.48 swings / minute


BF and Abacus not at the same time
BF speed: 1.67
Abacus speed: 2/(1+(260/10.52/100))= 1.6
0.6 swings/s for 20 seconds
0.62 swings/s for 10 seconds
0.6*20 + 0.62*10 + 0.5*30 = 33.2 swings / minute



So seperating your haste abilities/trinkets/potions nets you less swings/minute and therefore less chances to proc poisons/windfury/procs than if you stack them.
