I think you have to be carefull what exactly people mean by linear vs diminishing. Yes haste gives the same amount of dps increase per rating linearly I think what people meant what as a PERCENT increase in dps it's diminishing. So yes there is bound to be some confusion, but really it boils down to which stat will give you the biggest increase in dps for your gear and situation. The semantics aren't really as important as long as people understand the impact on their dps from each stat.
