is it possible to make lhw or a similar spell an instant cast, or close to it?

You can get your cast time to be very fast but not instant.

new_cast_speed = old_cast_speed / { ( 1 + haste_effect_A / 100 ) * ( 1 + haste_effect_B / 100 ) * ( 1 + haste_effect_C / 100 ) * ... }

For your lesser healing wave with wrath of air, heroism, and 1610 haste rating (49.1% haste) would give:

1.5 / { (1.05) * (1.3) * (1.491) } = 0.737 seconds

I think tidal waves applies before haste effects effectively reducing your cast time to 1s and your final cast time would be 0.491 seconds.

You won't ever make the spell instant because of the way haste scales. 100% haste means that your spells take half as long to cast and not that they become instant.

original_cast_time / { 1 + 100 % haste / 100 } = original_cast_time / 2

If you can get 50% haste from one source such as haste rating or combine haste effects such that ( 1 + haste_effect_A / 100 ) * ( 1 + haste_effect_B / 100 ) * ... = 1.5 you will be reducing the global cooldown to 1s and might want to focus on something else. More haste will still increase your cast speed beyond that point but you may just end up sitting around waiting for the global cooldown before you can do anything.
