These haste pieces remind me of Pillar of Ferocity.

For dps maybe, but for threat generation, haste could be pretty good. Although, with the changes to lacerate, it might not be as much of a benefit in 2.4 as it is in 2.3. As I see it though, attacking more often means more rage assuming that rage normalization is based on the un-hasted weapon speed. In any case, my melee + maul damage is typically 60%-70% of my damage in single-target situations, so I can see haste providing a significant benefits then. However, in a multi-mob situation, armor pen does *amazing* things for swipe so I do like to stack armor pen for trash whenever possible.
