I see the concern, but I'm not sure if that's always true? Just went on a striking dummy myself and even when using combust and a card on myself rapid fire using the skill queing system, it took at least a 3rd of the recast before the card was applied. Maybe it's a latency thing?

As for not pre-casting spells, that's done so that the pot catches both DoT casts, plus both AST and SCH have a lot of oGCDs to press (using a Pot in the beginning keeps you from using a R2 to weave it in) while WHM just casts Glare.
