I believe instant cast spells are treated as 1.5 sec cast spells (1.5 sec / max bonus at 3.5 sec = 43%)
AoE spells get even less than that, but I'm not positive on the exact amount.
Curse of tongues acts on the time it takes to cast the spell, since that is increased by 50%, then the time reduction by talents no longer makes it instant. If you read the talent description, it reduces by x.x seconds, not by x%. So when you increase cast time by 50%, then reduce it by x seconds, it's no longer instant.
+dam doesn't take talents or debuffs into account at all, it acts as if your cast time is the untalented cast time. Neither talents that reduce the cast time nor Curse of Tongues have an effect on the +dam you get from gear, only the original cast time of the spell.
