So I've tried using Bane after applying Miasma, Bio II and Bio in this order but for some reason Bio doesn't get spread if I use Bane immediately without delay after applying Bio
Target has Bio applied

But Bio won't spread to the other target after using Bane

Yep, best practice is to wait half a second after the bio before you bane, or swiftcast shadowflare then bane
It's due to Bio delay on being applied. I think several players asked for them to remove this delay, but no response was given yet.
This will also apply to Galvanize or Eye for an Eye when attempting to spread it with Deployment Tactics. If Swiftcast is up you can:
Bio II-> Miasma -> Bio -> Swiftcast -> Bane -> Shadowflare.
This keeps your DPS high, but gives bio enough time to stick. Its aggravating, but its just how it works.
Unfortunately this is an issue that has always been there, at least it was definitely there when I started in 2.2.
As others have said, leave a slight pause believe using bane or you are likely to lose whatever you cast last.
Yup, this needs to be fixed.

Have you tried casting in this order: "Bio II, Miasma, Bio"? This order has always worked fine.
The order should always be Bio II > Miasma > Bio (in the order of length for the spells), but that is not the reason Bio isn't spreading. When using Bane (and Fester), you must always wait until you actually see Bio land on the enemy's buff/debuff bar before you use it. If you have decent latency, you can afford to wait before you spread/Fester and still be ready to take another action when your global cooldown is finished. Practice makes perfect. :) This is not a glitch so much as it is just how latency works. Similarly, as I said... be careful when using your Fester right after applying dots. Wait for Bio to land.
More to do with the GCD ticks for DoTs right? After application, 1st DoT tick happens next GCD.
So casting Bane immediately before the 1st tick doesn't spread it.
