Rumour is IAS does impact the tick speed for DoT. Though I've never actually tested it.
So I tested it out. I don't believe there is a real benefit between Ruby and Emerald for any DoT build. With a ruby, I melt mobs quite quickly. With an emerald, mobs take more effort to kill, but then I have a slightly easier time with Spirit Barrage. Sheet DPS shows emerald as higher, but again with DoT it's not the best indicator. Also read that IAS doesn't affect DoT. It always ticks at one per second, so I rerolled out some of my IAS stats.
