Moonfire is a so called "binary" spell, and therefore has its bonus damage devided between the two parts of the spell and modified by casting time.
So the direct damage part receives 50% of 43% (because it's an instant) = 21,5% benefit from spelldamage. The DOT receives the other 50% spread over it's duration. This is not exactly what you found, but i think that's due to the low sample size of your research.
As for talents, most of them are applied after gear, one notable exception being Gift of Nature.
