I did some testing of this and I concluded that threat is generated on HoT on the tick. Don't test it with a low level healer as the piddly amount healed might not be enough to show it.
But in my experience casting a HoT before combat is initiated does not make the entire HoT threat-free.
PW:S threat is calculated at cast time, making it totally safe to pre-cast.
