Firestone and PandemicFollow

So once you spec Pandemic, will this make Firestone more worthwhile, or is spellstone still better?

for starters, 60 haste rating is roughly equal to 100 crit rating in terms of dps increase. now seeing as you've going THAT far into affliction... 1% increased dot damage is better than 1% increased direct damage (it almost means your dots will crit for 0.5% more to.. presuming we're talking about the 3.1 pandemic and not the current pandemic).. also you'll find that the spell stone is better than the fire stone for almost ALL specs of warlocks due to how much better haste is than crit and how c.rap crit is for us.

yeah haste does affect the GCD. and the 'cap' is a 1sec GCD, so 50% haste

1s is "GCD cap"? Good to know, thanks.

This makes "Amplify Curse" even more useless, if that's possible

I doub't it's that much of an overall DPS increase. I mean, c'mon, less then half a second off the GCD for a spell that's admidst the less-frequently casted dots due to it's long(glyphed) duration.

And CoA doesn't even do the most dmg of all my dots. So what makes it sooooo uber that the point wouldn't be better somewhere else?

Thank you.
