As we all know, Quartz can show the delay between the client & the server.
What Quartz does, is to count the seconds that elapse from the moment you click the steady shot button until the moment the cast starts.
Now all you have to do is to start an steadyshot with the following macro (we all know this one):
/cast !Auto Shot
/cast Steady Shot
You'll shoot an Auto Shot, instantly followed by the steady cast.
Because of the way the Auto Shot mechanics were changed in 2.3, the gcd will start instantly, while the steady cast will wait until the auto cast is completed. Thus, the time that elapse from the moment you click/the gcd starts until the steady cast begins is: Latency + Auto Shot Casttime.
Multiply test in our german wow-forums confirm: Auto Shot Casttime is reduced by haste.
In example, with no additional haste and BM specc, you're auto shot casttime is 0.5s / 1.15 / 1.2 = 362ms
edit:
The GCD is not affected by latency!
However, casts are.
Note: With a Steadycasttime of 1.5 Seconds and 0.2s lag, you can still shoot 1 steady per 1.5 seconds.

Shandara wanted to know where he was getting the idea that AS was capped. I was mearly stating that Cheeky's Sheet version 52 ALWAYS had AS as a 0.5 second cast no matter how much haste you had and was suggesting that while I had known of no proof if haste effected AS cast time, I could test for it and that either way I thought it was a moot point due to the AS changes in WotLK.
By and by though I AM glad to see proof that AS is indeed effected by haste in Live TBC wow. Perhaps Wertez can figure out a way to incorperate that knowledge into the sheet.
