Although the cast time is decided the start of the cast, the soul shard is charged only when completed, so if the buff runs out before you finish casting a soul shard will be consumed.
This effect is triggered when a target is hit by incinerate or shadowbolt, it is possible to "weave" incinerate/shadowbolt and soulfire constantly, by exploiting the fact the travel time of the spell allows you to cast Soulfire before incinerate/shadowbolt hits and triggers a new Decimation effect, so you must be at range from the boss to allow maximum travel time, spell haste also makes this weaving easier.

Notes

This talent is akin to Execute for warlock, and is mirrored in the Affliction tree by Death's Embrace which increases shadow damage done to targets below 35% health.

Although the cast time is decided the start of the cast, the soul shard is charged only when completed, so if the buff runs out before you finish casting a soul shard will be consumed.
