DS comes first in the rotation for two reasons:
1) Abomination's Might
2) Allows you to get some procs up before you apply your diseases, giving you an initial strong set of diseases to work with.

Note in 3.3 Diseases will use your current Attack power when you refresh them with GoD.

Mmmmmmno.
Glyph of DS requires that you have some RP to boost DS, so you want your other stuff first. AM can wait five seconds.
If you were building RP before the boss pull
--like you should be--
with DnD, BT and HoW (plus Revitalize from a Druid), this is not a problem at all.
The other point to remember is that DS first also gives your raid a DPS boost right at the onset of the fight.
About the only time where I don't DS is when I KNOW I am within range of a Marksman Hunter. Outside of that, ALWAYS DS first.
On a final note, DS first becomes even more important for your first set of diseases with Sigil of Virulence since SoV has about a ~90% proc chance. That's more Strength procced for your diseases to hit stronger and harder right from the get go.

...you see your counters at 4 or three seconds, you hit pestilence, and ta da....
This is too early for GoD's maximum effectiveness. Using Pest at this time will clip another Heart Strike from your rotation every minute and you lose one disease tick every rotation. Cutting it down to the point where you have less than 2 seconds is a better choice and will yield slightly higher DPS gains.

Is this in patch notes somewhere or just something that's been noticed/datamined from the PTR?
awww no more OP disease rolling :(
btw the reason why we use GoD is because it maximizes the number of HS available.
the rotation becomes more of a priority system, where u keep up disease with GoD, DS to get rid of UF runes, and HS spam.
at higher gear lvls, HS dmg becomes really high, more than DS, so maximizing the number of HS is basically hte point of GoD.
A problem i'm finding with using GoD is that if u do not have sufficient haste, you max out on RP very easily, as u are constantly HSing.
