Dia or Poison
I'm curious about this one. I've been camping enemies a lot for their drops and sometimes it's annoying when you're about to attack and they start moving. So I've been using dia or poison to pull the monster (both fast spells btw) and I do manage to pull rare/NM enemies with either spells against other players.

It made me wonder though, which spell is faster?

Hmm... I think that they are cast at the same speed, one second each spell :\ Just as a RDM we have the Fast Cast ability so it's slightly faster ><

they both have 1 second cast times and 5 second intervals. So neither is faster. It might just be you see dia's animation before poisons that makes you think dia is faster.
