Which I gave to my fighter. I also have no wiz/sorc in my team but even if I, it feels like pure caster have better spell to cast then a pally would. I'll try it on my next gameplay.
They have at higher levels, but they don't necessarily do at lower ones. I specified Sorcerer as that Twinned haste would go on two martials. By the time casters have way better things to do than haste martials, there isn't really any need to cast haste ever unless you're in a considerably bad spot. Once in that bad spot, it's less risky to drink a speed potion as well. I would consider Haste overrated in Act 2 and on because of that, in Honour mode or Honour like modded difficulty.

I generally avoid using speed potions and scrolls in my playthroughs, it breaks the game economy too much if you have at least 3 strong builds. I suppose Haste is good in that it's more balanced, there's risk involved.
