Spell Queueing Reap

Basically, cast Consume and press Reap in the Spell Queue Window*. Reap will hit the target before the Soul Fragments from Consume get generated. Is that intended? I am running Annihilator and noticed it last night.

*The Spell Queue Window is a mechanic in World of Warcraft that allows players to queue up their next ability or spell before the current one has finished casting.
