I'm not even questioning HoW being superior. I'm just wondering how having more haste would increase that difference.

Incorrect, running sims with my gear of Crit>Haste still favors HoW over Exorcism.

I'm assuming you mean in Exemplar's spreadsheet, because SimulationCraft's default priority list has Exo > HoW, and switching the order for my profile or for the BiS profile results in a loss of around 200 DPS.

Correct. In Exemplars Spreadsheet, when running even Crit > Haste it shows HoW as superior to Exorcism.

Perfect gameplay would require you to watch swing timer to decide when to Exo, and sometimes you would want to Exo before a TV or HoW, sometimes after. The point I'm trying to make here is that, since you have more haste, you have a higher chance of wasting an Exo proc when you prioritize HoW over Exo.

Right, but that chance at possibly another Exorcism delays the eCD of HoW, which is guaranteed damage. In a situation with AW/Zeal, you would want to put HoW first to get it on cooldown so another filler slot isn't used by Judge, HW, or Cons.

If AW/Zeal is used outside of Bloodlust/Extreme haste modifiers, you would have optimally 4 Filler abilities. If you used an Exorcism > HoW setup, your third filler could potentially not have AoW procced.

For fights like heroic warlord or hagara, should I delay my cd's to use them during black phase/stunned?

Apologies for delay on what may be a dead topic - on vacation for a week.

Exo vs HoW:
Bottom line is - for some people HoW>Exo sims* better, others Exo>HoW sims better. As such I am not going to blanket say in the OP "Everyone should use a specific priority of X" as Sha_ had requested.

* Using tool of your choice, not specifically a reference only to Simcraft which happens to have 'Sim' in its name.

I'm kind of consufed, my Exo deals alot more dmg than my HoW, i don't see why i should use HoW even under AW/Zeal if i have AoW procced and need a filler

It's not a matter of individual damage. It's a matter of total damage. On average - not on single-specific-attack, but on average, you will do more total damage by prioritizing HoW.

Here's an example**:

Time	Exo First	HoW First
0	CS	CS
1.5	Judge	Judge
3	Exo	HoW
4.5	CS	CS
6	TV	TV
7.5	HoW	Exo
9	CS	CS
10.5	Judge	Judge
12	HW	HoW
13.5	CS	CS
15	TV	TV
16.5	HoW	HW
18	CS	CS
19.5	Judge	Judge
21	Cons	HoW

Totals	Exo First	HoW First
CS	5	5
Judge	3	3
Exo	1	1
HoW	2	3
HW	1	1
Cons	1	0

I think we can agree 1 HoW > 1 Cons. Total results = more damage.

It may be counter-intuitive, but it has to do with cooldowns and pushback. Average weaponspeed (hasted) is somewhere in the 3.0+ range. At 20% chance to proc, this means you average an AoW proc every 15+ seconds. Even if Exo was double the damage of HoW (it's not), delaying a 15 sec CD by 3 seconds is less of a loss than delaying a 6 sec CD by 3 seconds.

Thinking further about the folks who see HoW>Exo on their modeling - perhaps if they have many AW phases and little under-20%? With 20 seconds under AW you never get the opportunity for a 3rd HoW (because less fillers, more TV), so prioritizing Exo and having that chance for an extra proc could be beneficial. With multiple AW phases each suffering this limitation you would gain a bit from Exo first, and if you had little under-20% then you wouldn't have sufficient time to build up offsetting extra HoWs. Maybe. As fight length shortens with better gear, this multi-AW+little-sub-20% seems the exception and not a rule.

* - Grammar corrections are mine.
** - We're ignoring CS Haste just for cleaner numbers, it doesn't appear to impact the end results of Exo vs HoW.

If AoW procs every 15+s on average, wouldn't you use Exo at 21s (18s after the 1st Exo) instead of Cons? It would end with 2 Exo 2 HoW vs 1 Exo 3 HoW. Thus higher damage by prioritizing Exo?
