That one's good for when to start because it tells you when the mob hits 25%. I think I have another one called TwentyFive because my DST kinda stopped working. =/ Anyway as far as timing when to
stop
casting drain soul and reapply DoTs, Haunt, or keep shadow embrace up, you can get a good DoT Timer. I know a lot of people use DoT Timer (Cleverly named); personally I go with ForteXorcist. Either are fine, Forte just has other things such as a summon assistant, soulstone spy, and cooldown timer. Really it's all up to personal preference. They both look different and I personally like the aesthetics of Forte more.
Both also work for all (I think) classes, not just locks. I know my friend uses DoT Timer for their Hunter.

using a DoTimer should be a given for a lock (and for that i suggest buttontimers) the point of DST (and the reason i mentioned it in relation to this topic) is that it not only notifies you of 25% but also plays a sound effect and shows a raid warning for each tick, allowing you to only ever stop channelling directly after a tick.

Oh I wasn't trying to argue against you asakawa =O. Though, I know a couple locks who don't have DoT timers and are aware of how much they'd help, and just don't get them. Anyway I didn't think it would hurt to mention it.
Personally, the tick/sound effect never showed up for me. Or... no I think it did for like a week and then stopped.
At bionic, i can't get online now but is this menu different from the one under the interface panel? If not then I've already checked it, turning things off/on again but to no avail. =/

Say you have all the dots up, refreshed, what i do is cast Drain soul for ~8 seconds(until haunt is available).
Refresh haunt(Cast time + travel time = refreshes it and Corruption before it falls off), Cast Drain Soul for ~8 seconds(until haunt is available again)
At this time recast Haunt, then UA(as it's been 15-18 seconds since the beginning). and start over.
This will ensure you have maximam drain life time while keeping up UA and Haunt.
