But I've never hasted or slowed myself because, given the common knowledge about procs being unrelated to attack speed, I don't believe it should matter.

Because its PPM (procs per minute), if you slow yourself you are swinging a ton less during a minute than normal, so you have a much greater chance at a proc per swing than you did before you were slowed.

This is why haste actually lowers you chance to proc on a given swing, because you are swinging more within that minute.
