If I run 25k iterations with the T12N profile (because I can't snag T11 BiS profiles anywhere simple, and that's the closest I can easily get Simcraft to having proportional Haste values to MoP T14 levels once you factor in scaling adjustments);
4.3: 212.6 LB casts, out of 329.3 casts, or 64.6% of our casts would be LBs.
MoP: 146.4 LB casts, out of 322.8 casts (slightly lower Haste levels), or 45.4% of our casts.
Admittedly, that sim is assuming the use of EB, but even if we add those in as LB casts for other talent picks (assuming no use of GoUL for the moment, so they have the same cast time), that brings us to 176.4/322.8 casts, still about 35 casts fewer than 4.3, and 54.6% of our casts, about a 10% reduction.
So yes, we really ARE casting LB less. Check the sims next time.
