50 crit
37 haste
34 mastery
I FULLY Agree that you MUST get socket bonuses nearly always.. and crit is at least equal to int (due to crit's value being doubled on gear).. But I can't agree with numbers I've seen yet that Crit is "WAY" better for fire.. But I'm no simcraft expert.. I don't even know how to test for higher values of crit (to simulate regemming crit heavy) and what not without running a 3rd party site to mangle my gear around >.>
And a quick run of Simcraft on you, Chaos-Skullcrusher, I'm seeing roughly the same story I'm saying:
100 Int
66 Hit
50 Crit
46 Haste
35 Mastery
Perhaps the heavy crit you put in brought the weight relative to int down.. again. I'm no theorycraft expert :-)
