Why do people feel like haste can't possibly be good past the point where Incinerate (of all things) goes under the GCD?
Haste still benefits (but not limited to):
Rain of Fire
Chaos Bolt
Immolate
Pet energy regen
Pet attack speed
RPPM
Not to mention that the only time you ever really drop below 1 sec Incinerate cast times is during temporary haste buffs. The rest of the time Haste is still beneficial for everything.
My research into Haste for single target leads me to believe that with 2 RPPM trinkets Haste is the most valuable all the way up to 20k haste rating and above.

Specially now when i got the 600ilv cloak all the ratings are quite high anyways. The metagem is nice on aoe fights like Durumu hc where you can spam inci's to the icewalls :P
You'll do more wall damage by multidotting walls with FnB-Immo + RoFs, unless your walls die within 10 seconds like ours did last kill because picked up an Ele Shaman.
