Should I macro soulburn?

Pretty straightforward question as I level an alt. Soulburn isn't on GCD, which means I can just macro it straight onto any spell that'll take it.
But should I? Or should I be saving it for special situations and hit it seperately?

I'm a demo lock and I have a macro using it with Soulfire.

destro shouldn't macro it since an instant refresh on iSF is a very useful thing on demand.
demo and affliction have little use for it other than an incredibly minor DPS gain (the difference in DPET of a single spell going from 2.x cast time to instant/global). there's just little or no point in macroing it for them when they could save shards for instant pets or bigger healthstone heals.
it's also worth noting that previously there had been a bug which prevented these macros from working in certain situations. i'm pretty sure they fixed that bug in a recent patch so it is now possible. with the change to ISF in the same patch, however, it's not something i would suggest doing.

well, I'm playing the alt as Affliction, so I'd be macroing it onto Drain Life and (once I get it) Seed of Corruption.

not always on cooldown because you used it on a SF that you could have acceptably hard cast while ISF was still up.
Just a small detail, soul fire's hard cast is always the same now.
This raises one question about soulfire being cast under the effect of conflag.
Right now i don't notice any cast time difference between the two, But,, that may be because i only have 1 decimal after the point on my cast bar (which im gonna change after dinner) OR because i dont have the necessary haste level to obtaint a faster cast time.
Has anyone tested conflagrated SF hard cast vs regular hard cast?
