There are many spots in haste rating total where you actually get LESS dps. I couldn't find the stat comparison values on elitistjerks, but last time I looked haste was not terribly important compared to the other stats.
I have read similar things on ElitistJerks. With the +hit nerf to ToW, hit has become something that multiboxing shaman teams (and single boxing elemental shamans) will have to consider as a priority.
