Haste is really an amazing stat to dps IF you have like 900 of it... I know back in the 70 days (weird!) when i was tryin to gear up my girlfriends frost mage the biggest dps boost to her was to stack haste. Unfortunatley haste was so hard to come by in the 70 days, you really only found it in black temple or later.

It was incredible once she started getting the gear her dps easily went up about 100 or so.

But i couldnt agree more with one of the previous posters, that if blizz would just make the stats on crit, spell power, etc bigger and bigger, we would see ludicrous numbers that would tend to lean the game too far in one direction. I am excited for the haste stat, faster casts, more numbers, more fun.
