Haste rating helps combat latency. Yeah, in a perfect world, 1.5s spells would get no benefit from it. The way things actually work, though, every non-instant spell receives some benefit from haste rating until you get enough that you can cast two 1.5s spells in a 3s period. I have the spell haste ring from BT, and it is certainly having an effect. It's till not enough of an effect, however, to recoup the one global cooldown in ten that I lose to latency. Far from being bad for a Shadow priest, I think spell haste might be one of our absolute best stats - on the level with +damage - if a reasonable amount of it can get you to the point where you can squeeze in an extra spell during a DoT rotation.
