Interesting comments:

Canadian AIP AIR 2.9.1 states that Vortex generation starts with rotation (and ends with nosewheel touchdown). It suggests 2 minutes wait, though other Transport Canada docs give the more specific times related to wake turbulence categories for a/c involved.

I personally like to start my waiting times from rotation of preceding a/c when flying my little spam can.
