Why do I keep hearing that hunters don't need haste?

Can anyone explain?
The question has boggled me. I've heard a few say it clips your macros but i havent seen anything of the sort especially when popping trinkets and such.

"Hunters don't need haste" is false.
"Hunters can have too much haste" is true. A well geared BM hunter can push their attack speed down to 1.5s or so at which point the global cool down and latency(even very little latency) start to interfere with their attempts to alternate auto and steady shots. I don't think you should expect to maintain an attack speed that fast but with a number of available haste procs you can hit a point where using an attack rotation actually becomes worse than just sitting still using auto shot until your attacks slow down again.

Right now my attack speed is 2.03 with 0% haste
Should i concern myself with getting any? if so how much?

You don't want to be any faster than the global cooldown plus your latency and whatever delay you need to actually hit your attack macro. If you go faster than that then you can't even maintain a 1:1 rotation.

how much haste would that be? roughly speaking.
Assuming standard BM raid spec, and for now the prince bow.

It depends on your latency and reaction time so I can't suggest a number for you. You'll have to decide on what speed you are comfortable with and do that math yourself.
