DoTs must be refreshed at the end of their duration, or preferably just before, and in priority to the casting of any other spell.
You generally don't want to refresh DoTs before they run out. Let them drop off and then refresh them. 100% uptime is bad.
DoTs tick every few seconds and the last damage tick occurs right when they run out. If you refresh them you reset the tick timer. So if you refresh them before they run out you clip that last tick, it will not happen anymore, meaning that you will lose a lot of damage by doing so.

Spell Rotation
This is the order in which the Moonkins offensive spells should be cast in order to maximise dps, or in other words, to maximise damage output.(...)
Faerie Fire (FF) >
Moonfire (MF) > (Refresh after duration)
Insect Swarm (IS) > (Reresh after duration)
Starfire (SF) until Solar Eclipse procs >
Wrath until Lunar Eclipse procs >
Repeat from step 4
(...) DoTs must be refreshed at the end of their duration, or preferably just before,(...)
SF is cast first after the DoTs, due to its higher crit chance and greater chance to proc Eclipse. (...)
Lunar is actually slightly quicker to proc on average and worth slightly more dps, if you are in a situation where you get to choose which Eclipse to proc (like the beginning of a fight) you should be attempting to proc Lunar Eclipse.
Also to echo MegaVolt, you are wrong about dot refreshing (if we're being serious about doing maximum dps here). The only time the process is questionable is in the last few seconds of an Eclipse, Lunar in particular... even then you aren't clipping them.
