Steady Shot and Auto Shot

I did some not-so-extensive (checked the stickys and searched the forums) searching on the subject but was unable to find anything definite that was up to date.
The last post i found was dated last year in october so pre-wotlk.
Anyhow my question at hand would be if Steady Shot still causes pushback on auto shots.
Say i start casting Steady Shot at 0.
At 0.1 i was supposed to auto shot.
Again at 1.4 i was supposed to auto shot.
Would this mean i shoot 2 auto shots and 1 steady shot at 1.5 or 1 steady shot at 1.5 and the next auto shot at 2.7?
Or how would this particular scenario solve itself?
Is there another scenario that can better explain the clash between auto shot and steady shot?
I would test this myself but my hunter is currently only level 29 so im just doing some research atm.
Cheers!
Edit:
I know the example uses a ridicously fast bow and the ammo cost would be immense but it was easiest for the example ^^

Thanks alot for clearing that up for me!
Leaves me with another concern though.
Will SS delay the auto shot or will you just shoot it as normal while "casting" SS?
Edit:
I can see how this would be of no importance in PvE.
But in PvP were burst is king being able to "control" it by casting SS to delay one or potentially two (with 1sec pushback on SS) auto shots will make a huge difference.

Guess i just interpreted your answer wrong :) clip to me would mean that i would lose the auto shot during SS.
Im not that worried about weapon speed. It's more a concern on losing out on DPS.
Im not sure we're quite following eachother here.
If as you say SS would have
no
effect on auto shot the first auto shot would go off when you start casting SS since this is also when you start attacking.
Im not asking wether or not SS would delay every auto shot but the auto shot at hand. Thus making the damage more bursty.
Something like this (a 2.5 bow with 0 haste):
Time Shot
0,0 Auto
2,4 Steady start
2,5 Auto
4,9 Steady end
5,0 Auto
What would happen with the auto shot at 2,5? Would it be fired in the middle of the Steady shot cast time or would it be "delayed" to 4,9 and then fired 0,1 seconds before the next auto shot?
Sorry if im being ignorant just want to make sure i get it right the first time.

Thanks alot for bearing with me :>

This is not true. Well it kind of is but not really. Imagine you are running and you right click a mob. You will be listed as "in combat", but if you then click esc before you stop running (which is when the auto shot will go off) you will not be in combat, since you have not attacked the target at all. Pretty confusing stuff really :P
Lol yea i agree :) i get your point though ;p
