Hey, lately I've been trying to generalize the average amount of damage lost from delaying Shadow Priest cooldowns and DoTs by X amount of time. I'd appreciate it if anyone could look over the formulas I've come up with.

Damage loss from delaying by X amount of time:
Vampiric Touch = (vtDamage/15 sec) * (x time)
Shadow Word: Pain = (swpDamage / 27 sec) * (x time) Assuming 2/2 Improved Shadow Word: Pain and 2pt6
Shadow Word: Death = (((swdDamage / 12 sec) - ((swdDamage/ 12 + x time))) * (12 + x time)
Mind Blast = ((mbDamage / 5.5 sec + mbCastTime) - (mbDamage / 5.5 sec + mbCastTime + x time)) * (5.5 sec + mbCastTime + xtime) Assuming 5/5 Improved Mind Blast.

The part I am most concerned about is the "* (12 + x time)" at the end of the SWD formula and the "* (5.5 sec + mbCastTime + X time)" at the end of the MB formula. I wasn't sure if it was correct to multiply by the effective cooldown (cooldown + cast time) or by the effective cooldown in addition to the X time waited.
