Shriek is terrible example the boss can be targeted pretty much the whole time, use a ruin 2 while you run then go about your business.
How is this even relevant to having DoTs with a cast time that requires clipping ? Could you explain that in a coherent sentence ?

Breaking vines takes like half a second with Sprint, and Dots don't typically need a refresh during them.

Shriek is an 8 second counter, so plenty of time to refresh dots if required before moving into position.

I don't think there's actually any scripted or random parts of a fight that effects Summoner and would require faster casting.
I have a feeling that whatever example I choose will be nitpicked anyway and I don't want to enter a battle of "ifs.

No one is saying Spell Speed is a good stat but to say it is near useless is a lie.
