Post Shattering, pre Cata, the conventional wisdom was to reforge Crit to Mastery. Do you have a link to some stats grinding somewhere so I can read the reasons it's changed? I'm curious.

That was for MM. That was also because: (1) mastery could not be found on any gear yet, (2) we had such over-inflated crit and haste values as to be near or at the soft caps/hard caps for certain shots, thus making them not as good to stack more of, and (3) the MM mastery performed very well with those high levels of haste and crit.
For Survival, our mastery is definitely good. It's just not as good as crit. Crit will affect 100% of the damage both you and your pet do. While there are "fake diminishing returns" to crit, basically 1% of crit is equal to 1% more damage. As you get higher crit values, this obviously lessens, but it works for our purposes. Mastery, on the other hand, does NOT affect auto-shots, kill shot, or pet damage. This works out to be somewhere around 30% of our overall damage. Thus, one point of mastery is basically equilivant to a .7% DPS increase.
Mastery is good. Haste is good (up to a point), crit is just better. And obviously, Agi is even better than all of those.

Thanks for the info, both of you. I'm nowhere near reforging right now considering I'm still questing and replacing gear, but it's good to know what to do once I get there.
