One question I have before beginning (though I'm hoping to figure this out with testing too - but I'd like to hear others' opinions on the subject) has to do with Haste no longer affecting RPPM gear. As a BM Hunter I was kinda shocked to see my DPS skyrocket when I started reforging Haste>Crit>Mastery, since Haste hadn't really been useful since the 1.6 sec cobra shot cast time plateau of late Cata raiding. The last I checked, and all sources seemed to agree, there was/is currently no soft Haste cap or plateaus as there were in Cata. Will this still hold true through the upcoming patch? Will Haste once more be the secondary stat that I throw away whenever I can, or does it still have significant importance? Has any BM Hunter (or any spec for that matter) found on the PTR what they consider the best balancing of our three secondary stats? As I said before I do plan to try and test this out for myself, but I'd like to hear other voices and experiences on the subject.
Also, would someone be able to explain to me why the 1.6 sec cast time of Cobra Shot Haste Cap stopped applying? What was it about the way Hunters were changed that made this no longer necessary? I'm wanting to get a better understanding of the different relationships primary and secondary stats have with Hunter Shots and Abilities.
