You know, you bring up a good point  And, I'm not sure, I guess I should run some tests :-) My main experience is really when I notice when I FP-3xPbaoe, with a theurg haste on the pet, the casting of the three spells are much faster, and that SHOULD be the same as your pet on passive and casting pbaoe, right?
I'll run some tests later today to see.

Cool.
All melee haste *should* do with respect to casting speed on pet-cast spells, is to get you to the next opportunity to cast the first one (FP) faster, if you're in melee. The time between spells during a FP shouldn't be affected.

Well, interesting indeed. Seems like I was under the wrong impression for a long time. I ran some tests with the necro pet just casting PBAOE in open space with and without the theurg haste, no buffs, as well as with buffs, and the with/without theurg haste, and there seemed to be no noticeable decrease in casting time.
That really sucks

The problem is that the pet can only queue up 2 spells, but a faster shade could cast 3 DD in between swings.
I can cast insta DDs at around 1.5s per cast. My pet swings at say once every 5 seconds.
I cast my insta DD, start next DD
.5 second
Pet swings, DD fires
1 second
I finish second DD.
1.5 seconds
I finish third DD.
1.5 seconds
I finish fourth DD, 2 DDs already in queue, DD dropped from queue
1 second
Pet swings, 2 DDs fire
Now if my pet had been swinging faster, I could have gotted off another insta DD in that timeframe.
I could support a baseline haste. Maybe baseline painworking.

I'd prefer to see the queue extended to 3 or 4 spells with a quick way to clear the queue. This would make out shade-cast spells actually cast at the rate they should (rather than being limited by swing time) and perhaps even fix the problem of "missing FP" because the queue isn't clear when you use it.
