Casting so many DoTs means you will lose DoT uptime, so dropping Immolate makes it easier to maintain your DoTs.
Same thing for Ruin > UA, you cast even less DoTs for easier upkeep of the other ones.
It is very easy to cast shadow bolts at around 2.6 seconds each, but you have to watch the GCD closely to make sure you cast another DoT right at 1.5 seconds, which is not as easy.
