The reason is probably that your macro is not working without haste, and you're constantly chaining steady shots. Auto shot won't correctly fire after a steady when you're spamming a macro unless you have enough haste to make Steady shot finish before the GCD is up. Even a little haste is enough to do this (like the 25 from the chest), which is why it works for you when you use that setup.
