Infraction: Multiple violations.

Message to User:
Rule 1: Always capitalize the first person pronoun "I," no matter where in a sentence you use it.
Rule 2: Just ask your question, we don't need to know your stats or your plans in order to discuss the theory of haste and mastery.
Rule 6: Your question doesn't make much sense, which makes it hard for someone to give you a helpful answer. I think you assume that haste is our best stat until we reach the soft cap when our global cooldown reaches 1.0 second. This isn't true, haste and mastery have nearly equal dps value according to all the sims and theory I've seen. Since increasing haste makes mastery more valuable, and vice versa, you're not going to see a dps improvement by stacking one of them to the exclusion of the other.
Rule 7: Once I get past all the fluff, you have 2 questions, neither of which are appropriate for this thread. Use the "simple questions" thread for basic stuff like- How much haste rating does it take to reach the 1.0 second global cooldown soft cap?
- 5488, or 5307 for a goblin.
- Is haste so much better than other stats that we should avoid everything else until the haste cap?

Original Post:
As the next tier of content approaches I think its time to start talking about stat caps. My question is when does haste become subpar to mastery. There are two places were i think this could happen, either at:
1.When LvB casts become 1s when EM is up.
2. When LvB casts become 1s without EM
At this point in stat levels, my LvB is 1s with EM and although it would technically be a dps loss if it went below the GCD cap with EM, the uptime of EM isn't long enough for me to be too worried about it then, especially with a spell that isn't used as much as lightning bolt, as it still gains a dps increase from EM. This leaves the second situation. This would happen at 33.33% haste and with totems and buffs im around 25-26% haste. This being said, i believe that we can reach the hard cap and just dump into mastery. Tell me if im wrong with this philosophy
