You can certainly do it, however, using Miasma II in DWT is a DPS loss versus using it outside of DWT first. You would be doing this out of a convenience but not helping giving you an optimal performance.

EX. Ruin II -> DWT > Fester > Miasma 2 > Tri-D > Ruin 3 spam > Ruin 2 > Fester > Deathflare.
You have replaced a Ruin III (120 potency) for Miasma II (120+ potency). Miasma II + Contagion vs a Ruin III is a DPS gain under DWT, however...

At most you have shifted the GCD very slightly but you are still doing the same skills within the same time. However doing it this way, Miasma II +Contagion (120+ potency) is now replacing a Ruin II (80 potency) thus leading to a higher gain overall.
