Question about steady shotFollow

I'm used to timing moves due to timing slam on my warrior. I just dinged 62 and got Steady Shot and I'm not entirely sure I'm using it correctly. Basically, it seems to be like Slam in that it will not auto-attack during the casting duration. I am not sure if it resets the auto-attack timer or not. Lastly, my attack speed is absurdly high. I'm looking for a slower hard hitter as my weapon has something like 2.2 attack speed, which translates to a normal attack speed of 1.6 seconds with Serpent's Swiftness. If I get that Quick Shots buff from Improved Aspect of the Hawk, I have around a 1.3 second attack speed. If I use the Rapid Fire skill while Quick Shots is up, I have around a 1 second attack speed. This is impossible to time around a 1.5 second attack speed.

My questions:

1) When do you start the Steady Shot? Immediately after your auto-attack or do you want it to land around the same time as an auto-attack?

2) In my particular situation, should I just not use Steady Shot until I get a slower weapon? With a 1.6 second attack speed, it's very hard to fit a 1.5 second skill in. With any buffs up, it's impossible.

Thanks for the response. I'll get some more practice in tonight, see what I can do.

This helped me tons when I saw it on Youtube. Good to see the mod going, watching the cooldowns, and hearing the shots go off. Wouldn't have picked up the rotation nowhere near as fast without seeing someone use it first.

Although you can tell he gets kinda sloppy, because you really shouldn't have more then a second of cooldown after a Arcane or Multi-shot.
