But it's not a matter of opinion. Haste is the weakest out of the three secondary stats post-10296 GCD cap so there is absolutely no reason why you would stack it over Crit or Mastery.
I don't think that doing that is a DPS gain. Most of your procs should be up on the pull. By delaying your cooldowns, you're not going to have pre-pot up synched with them as well as it would have been if you just used them at the start. And if you're unlucky and one of your trinkets takes longer to proc, that's your whole opener screwed.
Oh and you want to put DoTs up before popping trees.

Doing two casts on pull is fine. Casting until everything perfectly aligns itself (which is never guaranteed and might not happen), not so much. ;P
The only thing that makes DPS generally higher in 25man is the gear differences because of Warforged drops or if there are extra targets to DoT. There aren't any extra targets for Protectors and my ilvl was lower in this case.
Tne only way I can see a haste build being viable is if you went for the 10779 breakpoint for +15 ticks with Lust, Meta and Berserking and +10 ticks with Meta and Berserking. Even then the risk/reward tradeoff isn't going to be worth it unless the fight is like 1 minute long.

I really doubts it's the only reason :P Moonkins mostly lose dps there due to movement. If you are lucky and don't have to move much you will be higher. Also, being thrown in the air during the opener makes rather significant difference especially if SS doesn't proc at that point. Also the top 25man logs which are higher than 10man in general seem to have rather straight forward opener (with few exceptions)
Anyway, one thing makes wonder - why INC parses so much better than FoN on Malkorok since it's a pure single target fight o.O
If I remember correctly, Wrathcalcs (which is usually used to base our claims on Fon > Inc on single target) doesn't take cooldown stacking into account making Inc more valuable that it shows on Wrathcalcs.
Also trinkets and other procs can sway one's dps so heavily in one way or other that it might be just due to small sample size why it seems better.
Trying to even touch those adds as a caster dps is a bad idea because if they aggro on you (and they will if you start dpsing them - even Starfall is enough to aggro few of them for far too long) they will give you debuff that will lower your casting speed and movement drasticly.
so over treants atm, awlays incsistencys with the calculetions idk.. Incaration doing way more for me even long fihgt. meybe if u still have 2 throne trinekt??
