Yes the only non-diminishing stat I can thnk of is armor pen which is of course capped. Haste is a little more complicated for melee classes just due to thier mechanics for rage, combat potency, WF cooldown etc. Coming back to casters I think really the only thing to keep in mind in how each stat affects other stats in relative importance. Purely stacking haste at the cost of spell dmg and crit may or may not be worth it and all that depends on how much you have of each. I frequently see people asking how much haste they should have or what stats they should have before they start to stack haste as if there is a magic haste number everyone should get. Understand stat weighs and get whatever is the biggest upgrade is really the only advice you can give imo.
