However using a 2.8 speed weapon, it stays at 3:2 when unhasted, which according to the spreadsheet is inferior DPS for the unhasted period.
According to the spreadsheet v46, which is set up as accurately as I've ever set it up, using 1:1 while unhasted is ~10 dps higher for me than using a 3:2 when unhasted (both setups have me in 1:1 when hasted with quickshots and/or DST). This is using the badge xbow, felspine, and cloak of fiends. I've been over it several times, so I don't think I've set anything up wrong (my current armoury should be raid gear, except swap the black bow with the crit scope out for the xbow with an accurascope - netting around 1.9ish passive attackspeed).

Revisiting this, hopefully my talking to myself like this isn't boring everyone, but I think it's relevant to the thread:
It turns out my perhaps unusual situation was largely due to the high latency I've had the past week or so, due to a wireless connection at the apartment I just moved to - at 200-300ms, the 1:1 rotation was giving me higher spreadsheet dps when unhasted. Now that I'm back to a wired connection with a stable 70ms, I get the standard result of a 3:2 unhasted, 1:1 hasted rotation being higher in the spreadsheet. I'm not sure why latency would have that dramatic an effect on the unhasted rotation for the badge Xbow :S
Anyway, this means I can go back to using a spam macro to cast my LBs for me - my current project is learning to keep spamming that button even when I'm not personally DPS but my pet is, to ensure it's always LBing - I may end up setting up a G15 macro that does nothing other than spam LB until toggled off.
