When you time spells around bash, do you assume every bash is going to hit? Say spell cast recovery time finishes and you want to canni, but your bash metrognome shows there is a bash in 2.273 (repeating) seconds. Do you cast? The Ogre doesn't give a hoot.
I mean, this isn't some age-old question without an answer. There's probably a giant sticky on Samanna that says 'ROLL OGRE.'
Since this is a Velious thread, are you timing your initial bash starting cycle around the first slow attempt? Most everything in Velious is very MR and you're going to have to spend a few attempts slowing, and possibly even kiting until you can override malo with malosini (or even proc tash).

Yes, you have to assume that every bash will hit and interrupt. You wouldn't delay casting a canni because of bash though. If it doesn't land, you get the canni. If not, oh well. There's no benefit in not casting. The only thing you really plan around the bash is torpor, since you probably want to keep that rolling 24x7 with no overlap.
Assuming you are kiting a mob around until it's slowed, which is the most common case in Velious as I understand, the first bash will come when the mob first melees you. So that's how you control when the bash cycle starts (and offset it sufficiently so it won't come in when you want to torpor).
