No, they are done on button press. When the damage pop up comes out doesn't matter, what matters is when the damage is calculated, and that is when the weaponskill goes on cooldown. It is also very easy to check, which, despite knowing when the calc is done, I tested anyway.

Level 90 Monk, only equipment is the Majestic Manderville weapons, this is just to lower crit and DH to prevent them from procing. Action used, Demolish, long animation where the damage comes out late, with Disciplined Fist up, damage is ~410 on the flank and ~770 on the rear. Start the cooldown at the rear but move to flank way before the damage popup comes, damage is ~770.
