I know this is a late comment… as the post is over 6 months old, but I couldn’t help but reply to the fact that y’all took no consideration to the mana cost comparison of spell haste with spell damage.

Even though I’m asian, I am not that good at calculations and math (instead of puting points into Kung Fu and Math as a child, I put all my talent points into the Video Games talent tree), but it looks like yours checks out just fine.

Yea I have been replacing all my Spell Dmg/Spell Crit gems with Spell Dmg/Spell Haste gems, and have been seeing an increase in my DPS. When the Epic Gem Vendor opens up on my server, I will have access to more Gems to play with.

I had a litte fun and try to calculate how much you gain per % haste if u change your crit to haste.
————————————————–
THIS IS WHAT I GOT:
spelldmg = 1950
spellcrit = 4500
casttime = 2.5 sec
crit = 28 %
haste = 1 to 10 %
battletime = 10 min

critdmg = (spelldmg*(100-crit)/casttime+(spellcrit-spelldmg)*crit/casttime)*1/100

hastedmg = (spelldmg*((100+haste)*1/100)*(100-crit+haste)/casttime+(spellcrit-spelldmg)*((100+haste)*1/100)*(crit-haste)/casttime)*1/100

60*(hastedmg-critdmg)*battletime
————————————————

so for exemple:
1% crit to 1% haste gives : 6.048 DPS -> 3628 dmg on a 10 min fight
2% 2% :12.048 DPS -> 7228 dmg
3% 3% :18.000 DPS -> 10800 dmg
4% 4% :23.904 DPS -> 14342.4 dmg
10% 10% :58.32 DPS -> 34992 dmg

as you see are the “real” haste if u change is with crit.
2 extra bolts per 240 at 1% -> 0.83%
18 extra bolts per 240 at 10% -> 7.5%

All this calc are homemade, you may please check em if u want.
