The travel time of haunt and the implications thereof have been discussed a number of times in this thread. Please search and read before posting. Thanks.

Original Post:
It seems to me that most everyone's guess on when to recast haunt is wrong. One of the problems that Simulationcraft doesnt take into account is that haunt has a travel time. What this means is that at max range of 30 yards, it will take 1-1.5 seconds for haunt to actually hit the target. Therefore you actually want to recast haunt when it has 3-2.5 seconds duration left, and not actually 1.5*haste before it falls off.
It also seems like the debuff counts the travel time in its duration, ie when it hits it only has 10 seconds left! I could be wrong here, if anyone can confirm this it would be appreciated. When haunt had a 10 second cd it seemed to fall off with no way for me to prevent it on Brutallus. I haven't tried affliction again since the patch, I will probably respec affliction and try again this Tuesday to see if 8 second cd have solved this uptime issue.
