Haste over Multistrike? (Elemental)

[Excessu]

After the new haste changes I tried simming Haste gems/enchants over MS and the results suprised me. Giving up all the MS from enchants and gems for haste resulted in only losing "8" dps on singletarget.

I then went to look at Binkensteins stat weights for AoE:

Crit 147,981436644818
Haste 301,091248372626
Mastery 303,658161559048
Multistrike 112,697860388844
Versatility 215,261098500488


My question to you people on here who got a bit more knowledge than me; Wouldn't it be better to sacrifice the small singletarget dps loss when Multistrike is that much worse than haste on AoE/Cleave?

What were your sim settings? (especially: talents & glyphs, gear profile, iterations, duration of fight, # of targets, and movement settings)

What happened to Crit being the best AoE statistic?

Certainly won't be the case with T17 anyway
