The only way you could possibly say mind flay receives the highest benefit from haste is simply that we are casting it the most. My definition of benefit is SCALING. All spells receive the same flat rate percentage from spell haste. The only reason haste geared players cast more mind flay is because everything else is on cooldown. People aren't casting more mind flays because it scales better, but rather that they are forced to use it.
Mind flay is call a "filler" for the reason of its poor scaling. Getting gear-stats for the SOLE purpose of casting more of your worst scaling spell is bad plan, because it will come at the expensive of improving your better scaling spells. Had I any choice about gear, I would remove all the crit, most of the hit, stick on 144 haste and stack everything else into pure shadow damage. Since I don't have that option, I will try to optimize haste around my better scaling spells. Hense, my small table.

Thanks for your input.
I've tried clipping flays on a few Brut attempts, but wasn't able to determine how effective it was. I'll see if I can work out some numbers.
