No, haste is not always better to take than spell damage. The more haste you get, the better spell damage becomes. And while I don't have any math to back this up, just rawr's results, at around 1200 spell damage, 220 spell haste is the breaking point, where they're both equal in value on gems. More or less.

My own opinion is haste/damage is better for yellow sockets and pure damage is better for red sockets. For the sake of simplicity I equate 1 spell haste as = 1 spell damage.

I use something like 5 spell haste = 6 spell damage and just go crazy with gemming. :-)
As for the pieces I use blue gems on, I'd use the pieces with the biggest socket bonus. In my case, legs and chest.

Shadow priesets are quite a big DPS improvement.
I feel like I be doing better, but maybe i'm just at the limit of what my gear can do atm.

Off the top of my head, socket to get hit capped and scorch less. Also, I see that at least your first HSH wasn't stacked with combustion, you should use combustion with that, rather than skull or separately.
