Corruption PvP question

Should corruption be the first DoT to put up? I always have since siphon life spell went so that if stunned i do at least some damage and get some healing form the siphon life part, but i see a lot people putting UA up first and just wondered whether i should do that instead (it just doesn't feel like the right thing to do so I wanted some expert advice). I read the stickies and nothing was mentioned about it.
Any suggestions good and bad appreciated.
love, Me

Corr is instant cast, so you can use it whenever you want on the move (save stun/silence/lockout) and can be dispelled. UA, however, have a cast time, something that is not easy to pull off when you are pummeled by DK/Rogue/Warrior that is only waiting to lock you out of shadow spells. So you want to use every time you have to put your non-instants whenever you have a chance to cast to land, and instants when you can not. In addition, it will protect any other dots you will cast later, where a Corr can be dispelled before you cover it with UA.
At least that's my point of view.

The first DoT must be UA. It'll cover all the others that you can cast running (Corr, CoA). If you have time, cast Haunt after the UA. After thta, cast Corr. Result: your Corr won't be dispelled and will be more destructive.
But it only works if you have time to cast. If you haven't, Corr first and run.

Im back! /cheers. After trying UA first it did improve my kills by a LOT. thanks for all the advise everyone. My rototaion now goes a little like this...
Ua-->Haunt--->Fear/HoT(depends how close they are)>Corruption>CoA>and tons of shadowbolts until 25% hp then drain soul refreshing dots and haunt as they run out and fearing if they get too close for comfort.
If anyone still thinks there are improvements to be made speak now or forever hold your peace.
