I can probably guess there has been a few posts about this topic but i couldn't find the right answer for me to be completely satisfied, Now with 4.0.6 haste is now the worst thing to get on your gear and mastery takes it's toll up there, according to stat values. But my question is why?
Haste effects a lot for quicker CS cooldowns, Censure dot tick's faster and Art of War procs would be faster to optain. So why is mastery and crit still ahead of it by a little from haste?

Crit makes you do more damage.
Haste makes you do more damage.
Mastery makes you do more damage.
You can argue qualitative claims like that till you're blue in the face. Quantity is was matters. Crit and mastery increase your damage by X amount, which is more than Haste.

Strength 232
Hit rating 175
Exp rating 134
Crit rating 94
Haste rating 67
Mastery rating 99
Is the stat values, so both Mastery and Crit is
far
better than haste, here's why:
In a perfect world at L85 it takes around 3978 Haste
(with Wrath of Air and JotP)
to reduce CS to a 3 second CD.
That's is alot of haste and with the current gear that is available to us, is far beyond what we can get, without getting totally gimped & pretty much useless.
"It is unlikely that even in end-tier Cataclysm gear that it will be possible to fully cap your CS CD. Unless several mechanics severely change, do not attempt to meet the cap. Strength is around three times as advantageous as Haste. Any gems which are Haste rather than Str are overall detrimental to your total DPS."
