Is there a haste cap? if not what is the ideal amount of haste for a lvl80 mage?
50% Haste is the soft cap. That's when your GCD will be equal to 1. And any 2.0 speed nukes will also have a cast time of 1--they cannot get any faster. Nukes slower than that (so, say, Arcane Blast which has a 2.5 cast time) will still benefit some. However, proc buffs like Lightweave Embroidery could easily take you passed the cap.
How much haste you want is dependent on your spec and your other stats. When calculating overall DpS for a fight, it acts as a % multiplier. So the larger your base damage, the better the haste is. It doesn't matter if you are flinging spells every second if they only hit like wet noodles.
And Fire, for instance, requires a good amount of crit. So Haste won't be as important if that value is low.
That said, you won't have passive Haste anywhere near 50%. I'm at 700 haste rating and I have 2pc T10. That's 21%.

Thank you, you are right I should be more specific.
My arcane pve stats are:
2918 SP
237 hit (15.03%)
28.92 crit (with buff)
851 haste (25.95%) according to mage nuggets 33.51% don't know what the difference is there.
I never had problems reaching the hit cap but lately with my new gear I do and I am not sure if I should re gem from 12sp + 10 haste to 12sp + 10 hit gems or maybe get the hit trinket,I have 2pc T10.
Cheers

Download Rawr and ask it. Make sure you look at the fight time and buffs it is using.

Around 1100 is a good number to shoot for, but not to gem directly (+20 haste, for example) for. You just have to watch your cooldown usage to avoid breaking below 1sec GCD during heroism/bloodlust, etc.
