spell haste or critFollow

Here's my question, i am spell hit capped right now, and i'm about to get the 100 badge pants. I'm deciding on the spell hit or crit pants so here's my dilema. If i get the hit pants, i can change out the mindblade/offhand for spell haste gear, which will put me at 80 spell haste and still stay hit capped. But i'm wondering if the crit is worth more or the spell haste for raiding. I'm sitting at 910 bonus damage with current gear and 30% crit rating.

First off what spec are you?
It's my understanding that while haste helps all specs, crit is the best for fire mages.

Also when you switch out your weapons for haste will you be over the hit cap or still right at it? If you are a fire mage I would suggest getting the crit pants. but then again you already are at %30 crit. +Crit pants would be my choice, post your spec, hopefully Anobix or someone will jump in.

I'm a 2/48/11 build. When i switch out to the haste gear, i would need the spell hit pants to be right at cap. I'm not exactly sure how to link my armory page, but it's trollfodder on the khaz modan realm. If that helps :)

I believe it would come down to what your plus damage is as well. Having a strong dmg and crit base i believe to be essential for fire. But as that +dmg goes up, the greater spell haste becomes for you. I'm just guessing anywhere close or above 1100 spell dmg unbuffed, and 30%crit. Once you have those, Haste i believe will add mucho dmg on your meters.

Pretty well put, and close to how I'd rate haste.

Hello,
just to clarify, when you say 1100 spell dmg are you talking about all spell dmg or the bonus fire dmg when spec'd 2/48/11?

Fire Damage Base. When you hold your little mouse over your Spell dmg. whatever that fire damage is. I'm pretty sure all of Fire Talents and frost for that matter deal with the damage of the spell, not your actually spell damage. Unlike Mind Mastery which candy coat your spell damage.

spell haste is ranked higher than spell crit according to ElitistJerks.
If you have 30% crit then you should start putting haste in as you can.
but finding a balance between all of them is the best idea.
don't saccrifice alot of one thing to put in a little of another.
