"LOL" is not a word. Don't use it as one. Thanks.

Also, you're sort of treading the boundaries of http://elitistjerks.com/f31/a34-forum_rules/, #4. Please try to be a bit more constructive in the future.

Original Post:

Ok, so now that shots don't clip I am wondering the effects of haste on DPS.
Is haste now king? In today's BT raid I used the 50/11 BM build with the following macro on spam:

#showtooltip Steady Shot
/startattack
/cast Steady Shot
/cast [target=pettarget, exists] Rabid
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear();

I was able to produce about 2800DPS on Teron Grofiend. I would gladly link the WWS but it seems to be bugged and won't allow us t upload combat logs right now (Another story I guess). Man I should take a sec to say how EASY BT was today. Even though we have server connection issues we cleared the whole thing in about 2 hours. Just sick... Talk about a nerf (LOL)

Back to my point.
Basically my DPS is centered around Steady/Auto while managing BW, Rabid, Rapid Fire, Trinkets, and possibly a haste pot.

Should I be trying to MAX haste at the expense of other stats?
Examples:
Swap Halberd of Desolation for The Blade of Harbingers
Swap Angelista's Revenge and Band of the Eternal Champion for 2x Band of Devastation

I also have 4 pieces of T6 with the legs (5th piece) in the bank as I have the Starstalker Legguards.
I have Fists of Mukoa sitting in the bank as well but breaking my T6 set bonus doesn't seem smart.

Doing this I lose a lot of crit and drop down to abut 29% unbuffed.
But I gain a ton of haste.

Any thoughts on where the balance is?
Currently I have a shot speed of 2.09 unbuffed. If I added all that haste gear speed would be much faster.
