I would think with higher int from gear mastery would just continue to benefit more and more.

talking 378 and 391+
Pre-t11 4pc haste was better than mastery, and you have to consider that the 4pc gives roughly 1300 haste for AB. Even with t11 4pc mastery is just barely above haste so losing that naturally would make haste a better stat.
The big thing is haste isn't that much better than mastery if i'm remembering right haste is at around 2.1 and mastery at 1.95 so they're close but haste is a bit better.
That being said it depends a lot on an individual's gear as to when you should/shouldn't break T11 4pc I only have heroic chest/legs (we got bad rng on shoulder/glove) so going to a 378 setup is going to give me different numbers compared to someone else considering that a few of those pieces would be going from 359 to 378. Now someone with full T 11.5 4pc would probably need at least a few of those pieces to be heroic before it becomes worth it.
It's the big aspect that i dislike about generalizing information because it really is gear dependent and not everybody has identical gear setups.
@Eylirria I've heard it's more around 500 dps instead of 200 but there hasn't been a lot of actual testing afaik
