Haste does barely anything. It affects white damage (which makes up like 1/4 of your damage) and also gives OoC a slightly higher chance to proc. However, if the other stats are better or about equal to what you got, go for it.

Haste works for cat druids like it does for anyone else, your regular attacks (white damage) happen faster. Most of a cat druid's DPS comes from special attacks (yellow damage), though, like Shred, Rip, and Mangle. About 1/3 of your damage is from Rip, 1/3 from Mangle and Shred, and about 1/3 from regular (white) damage.

If by 'Pvp epic cloak' you mean Dory's Embrace, I'd take Dory's Embrace. Without knowing what your crit is already at, I can't tell you exactly how much better crit rating is than haste rating, just that it's generally better. 2/3s of our damage is affected by crit (white damage and Mangle/Shred), while only 1/3 of our damage (white damage) is affected by haste.

personally, I'm kinda leaning on that blue cape between the two OP, though I'm definetely not sure as I've not yet taken the time to fully understand all the theory crafting / mechanics of this game, for me it's more like I've looked into stuff enough to realize that emmerald's list is pretty spot on.


In any case, dory's embrace will be a better option than either cloak you're comparing OP.

And though this list isn't complete with the addition of the new content, it should provide you with some pointers.

Are we talking PvE DPS, or arena? PvE, I'd say neither, get something like Capacitus Cloak of Calibration (normal/heroic Mech, Cache of the Legion). You don't even have to kill a boss to get it, just the 2 mini bosses. Or if you have gold burning a hole in your pocket, you can have a Vengeance Wrap crafted.

Edit: I went back and plugged Cloak of the Coming Night into emmerald's values for each stat, it's around a 70, putting it pretty far down the list for cats.
