Stat Priority for Frost Mages?

Hi,
It's the one thing that is really missing from the EJ Frost Mage thread.
It seems that Haste, Crit, and Mastery are all pretty close together in terms of usefulness, and I'm having a hard time on deciding about any re-forging.
Any advice, oh great Frost Mages?
Cheers.

Thanks.
I looked around a bit more and found this over on the Blizz Mage forums. Should have looked there first, but thought I'd provide it here for people to see:
"Intellect will always be your main stat, surpassing even hit rating. Until the hit cap of 1742 hit rating, hit rating will be your number one rating. Crit and Haste are quite close to each other, and an equilibrium between the two can be found once rawr is fully functional. This means that through use of (mainly) reforging and (to a lesser extent) geming, a point can be reached where adding any crit rating lowers crit's DPS to below that of haste, and adding any haste will reduce haste to below crit's DPS. This means that if you want to add any more of either, you should be adding both, and if you get a nice upgrade giving you one but not the other, it would be in your best interest to change one of your other somethings to account for the jump. Crit's value drops pretty substantially at 23% self buffed crit due to crit capping (having 100% crit chance) during shatter moments; after 23% crit chance, haste or mastery will be a higher DPS gain. Mastery is generally the bottom stat for Frost, and is the stat that you will reforge away, etc."
Cheers.

This made me chuckle a bit.

Make your mind up :)

Intellect isn't a rating now is it? =)

No, but the way it's worded sounds like "No matter what, take intellect over hit rating. Hit rating is better than int until 1742 rating!"
Contradiction!

He meant - After Intellect, Hit will always be first until 1742.
Cheers.

Yeah, I know.
Don't think people are understanding what I was saying, heh.
