I've been using the pretty outdated spreadsheet Shamstats, I've had to add a bunch of items including 2.4 Heroic Vendor items to it, but my problem is that I think it weights Haste far too heavily. I'm rocking what I think is a terrible 80 mp5 unbuffed, and it weights Haste to mp5 as 1.8:1.179, this puts items such as the blues from Normal MgT better than the Hyjal items that have mp5.

My guild is currently doing BT, and with an Illidan kill expected this week or next at the latest I fear that I am far from the mana regen that I should be. I realise that spreadsheets are just a guide, but I don't think that haste can be weighted this heavily when you lack other stats, I feel that the formula is flawed.

My point is that I don't feel that the only spreadsheet that's widely available and viable for restoration Shaman is anything that it should be, there is no spreadsheet that you can safely follow when starting from a low level of gear. Shamstats is only useful when comparing the final few items in the game and you're sat at huge stats, and even then it's not updated enough to do so.

I apologise if someone has made the same point as this already.
