the same thing happened in tBC. as item levels increase hit becomes massively important but, assuming we're capped with ease at these higher gear levels, haste gets very strong.

i don't think we're there yet but we may be toward the end of wrath (working into icecrown) so we shouldn't dismiss the idea out of hand.
"always gem for SP" is still the correct advice and will always be very solid advice even when gear levels get very high.

lol, well you presented the maths yourself. i thought we were discussing the wider ramifications...

46 x 1.54 = 70.84
or
(24 x 1.54) + (20 x 1.56) = 68.16
that's what you essentially posted in the OP

In regards to the 0/13/58 spec, it seems that the stat weight is as follows.

Stat Weight
intellect 0..58
spirit 0.74
crit rating 1.04
spell power 1.54
haste rating 1.56

I think those weights are out of date, the latest from SimCraft (patch 3.1.3/simcraft build 2909) for 0/13/58 are:

T7 - SP:1.47, haste:0.60
T8 - SP:1.57, haste:1.82

So the epic haste gem becomes better than the SP one somewhere between T7 and T8 gear levels.

#1 don't necro an old topic

#2 don't ask mage questions in the warlock forum.

(mage's have a specific forum and the classes are different enough that you won't get the best advice here)
