In this scenario the haste value helped lessen the gap where I am simply doing no DPS waiting for the AS timer. What I'm very curious to see is a MM hunter with a X/4X/X or variant-type build with about 20% passive haste in itemization and then see his DPS compared to a BM hunter. Both would technically have Serpent's Swiftness.

Barring a really fast weapon, there's nothing stopping a BM hunter from benefiting from haste as well O.o. It's a lot easier for a BM hunter to get the haste necessary to eliminate all downtime in a purely special/auto rotation than it is for a MM hunter to get down to the same level. Again it really depends on weapon speed, but I don't see marks catching up given current itemization
