Connecting the DoTs: A Summoner Guide

I read your math but I am not convinced. Largely it seems like you are looking at it from a GCD point of view and not the potency that you are getting on the tick.

Right between that Bio II application and that Miasma application is gonna be 1 server tick where Bio II is solely ticking for 35 potency.

The next server tick, you are very likely to catch both Miasma and Bio for a total of 110 (All three DoTs). More to the point if you factor in any kind of precast of Bio II.

Which means the only difference between Bio II -> Miasma -> Bio I + Fester vs Tri Disaster -> Ruin I -> Ruin I is 75 (ticks you gain from Miasma and Bio you gain on the first server tick) + 160 2 ruins = 235

235 doesn't beat a 300 potency Fester +20 application of Miasma to warrant the AF cost. You would have to at least get 3 Ruins to beat a Fester if we factored out the Miasma application potency. This is of course assuming Tri-D doesn't have some initial hitting potency as well as us needing to add at least three skills to the opener.
