I could be off but the models I've seen so far of
"Eradication(25 point) - Your Corruption, Siphon Life, and Curse of Agony ticks have a 5/10/15% chance to increase your spell casting speed by 20% for 8 sec. This effect has a 10 second cooldown."
seem way off from what I expect to see. I will try and ignore for a second that COA is unlikely to be up there on a boss.

First off, I am assuming one target (because obviously the interesting part of this is for multi-target dotting imho -- particularly Atrocity, the 15y AOE corruption).

I am not sure about the 'normal' cast order of the dots, so I'll assume COA->CORR->siphon. It shouldn't affect much the results the order that you do them, but in any case, this is what I assume. This also assume no spell haste.

0.0 - [COA cast]
0.5 -
1.0 -
1.5 - [CORR cast]
2.0 - COA tick
2.5 -
3.0 - [siphon cast]
3.5 -
4.0 - COA tick
4.5 - CORR tick
5.0 -
5.5 -
6.0 - COA tick, siphon tick
6.5 -
7.0 -
7.5 - CORR tick
8.0 - COA tick
8.5 -
9.0 - siphon tick
9.5 -
10.0 - COA tick
10.5 - CORR tick
11.0 -
11.5 -
12.0 - COA tick, siphon tick

Each of those basically mean you have 15% chance to proc Eradication, but if eradication procs, then for 10s it won't proc. In other words, it might take on average ~6 seconds to get a proc. So picture roughly 8 seconds of downtime for 8 seconds of uptime.
