Take any SC, or especially one with Heroic Quickness, and during his buffing cycle plop down a handful of units around him with Shift + 'U'. Frequently you will see him make an attack (or two, with enough Heroic Quickness), and then still do his buffing anyway. I just now verified this by going into my latest game and putting a bunch of 1509/Hirdmans around my Malik, and he made two attacks and then cast Personal Luck anyway. The next turn he cast Soul Vortex and made no attacks--I think spellcasting terminates the action cycle. Now it's possible that W9 quickness works differently, but for regular quickness and Heroic Quickness it's certainly possible to attack and spellcast.
