Hey guys,

This is my first post, I have recently began advancing into endgame content on my mage and have come to the dilemna of the value of haste. I am currently running a 2/48/11 icy veins/fire spec. I see a lot of people in here putting haste pretty high on the totem pole but I have downloaded Vontre's Mage DPS sheet (v2.7.3.4) and am not seeing DPS increases with increased haste. The biggest example here is when I tried to compare my current boost (Vindicator's Silk Footguards) to the ZA boots with haste (Footpads of Madness) which many people recommend. This resulted in a significant damage decrease according to Vontre's sheet although all over the place I see these boots being hailed as the best before the seacaller slippers.

I understand that stat weights depend on your current stats but I am sitting at 1150 fire dmg and 30 crit (max hit of course), I would think that haste would start playing a more important role?

My armory sheet is here: The World of Warcraft Armory if anyone cares to look.

If this has been discussed before, sorry, there was a lot of information in this post before I came upon it and I read a good portion of it.
