The EP values in the first post are based on BIS gear, already socketed and reforged in accordance to those stat weights. Hence, while it's true that reforging to mastery raises the relative value of hit (and so on) - we've already *done* that. Reforging haste and then mastery over hit does lower the value of mastery and raise the value of hit - but even after their values converge in that fashion, mastery is *still* ahead. Before reforging to mastery, it was *further* ahead.

Hence, in terms of reforging priority, the answer will basically always be spell hit cap > expertise cap > haste > mastery > white hit. The end. There is very little ambiguity here. Socketing is always Delicate/Deft/Glinting, matching socket colors. While I'm not going to say its impossible to stack stats in such a away that the order changes, I will say that it is really pretty rare. 99% of you don't need to worry about how the stats interact or how much of what stat you have - if you make the spell hit and expertise caps, and then reforge haste and mastery, you really can't go too far wrong.
