For Combat it says Agi 2.73, Haste 1.459, Mastery 1.272 and Crit 1.0
Yes the reforge order is different, but considering the two extremes of haste and mastery:
Assa 1000 points of haste yields 912 dps, 1000 points of mastery 1008. The dps difference for reforging 1000 points "the wrong way" is 96dps on single targets (it is propably higher with aoe packs).
Combat gets 1459 dps from 1000 points of haste and 1272 dps from mastery. Difference is 187 dps if reforged the wrong way...
Given the amount of secondary stats, i can reforge a little bit over 3000 stat points from haste to mastery or vice versa. Say with higher gear you have 5k stat points to reforge... the result is ~500-1000 dps on single target fights with the worst reforge strategy.
Because most of the fights i like to be assa, i reforge for assa and have good results for the few fights with useful usage of cleave.
