Can I get some reliable info that haste can just be stacked and that at no point crit becomes better?

Did you just 7/7 upgrade a bunch of double haste crafted gear? Holy shit. ._.
Haste is by far our best stat, Crit is important for a nice stream of shadowy apparitions (Auspicious Spirits talent/Unleash the Shadows trait)
More haste, the ride never ends.
Hey, I'm not a Shadow Priest so I apologize if my information isn't useful, but once you reach the GCD cap (50% Haste iirc), Haste becomes less beneficial to you (as you'll start to become resource-capped), and other secondary stats will start to become more and more worthwhile. While I cannot comment on whether Haste will STILL be better than Crit once you've reached the soft-cap, it's something to keep in mind.

Resource capping is not a thing with SPriests - we have no spender, only a builder that constantly drains in Voidform. On top of that, we have many different sources of %haste, which make our base haste even more effective. At 50% Haste, we are GCD Capped at 1 second, HOWEVER Voidform haste can bypass that to a GCD Cap of 0.75 seconds. In addition, we need more haste to minimize the Void Bolt cooldown (Base = 3 GCDs). On top of that, more haste = faster casts of Mind Blast (Which is scary at high levels of VF due to lacking resource generation during the cast) and faster ticks of DoTs (Which with T19 2PC will generate insanity).
Crit on the other hand is less effective, aside from damage we have only one talent that generates Insanity on DoT crit, and that is mostly obsolete as our best legendary tells us to pick other talents in that tier. On that note though, It will be incredibly hard to hit 50% haste from gear, so I don't think there's much to worry about.

Void form is multiplicative - If you have 20% base haste, at 100 stacks you will have 140%. If you have base 50%, at 100 stacks you will have 200% (And PI/Bloodlust again on top - 40% base + 100 stacks + PI + Lust = 355% haste). The more haste you have, the more you get out of VF.
SW:P and VT are are main sources of damage. Haste scales those immensely, and with T19 2PC generates insanity as well. 40% Base Haste - 100 stacks for 180% haste = 0.715s tickrate for SW:P (Base 2s) and 1.075s for VT (Base 3s).
How do you have 40% haste at 845ilev? I'm at 853ilev with haste on all pieces(crafted 7/7) with Chrono and crafted neck/ring and I'm sitting at 28% haste.
Double haste rolls, or haste primary rolls.
I may be completely noobing out here, but by double haste crafted gear what do you mean?
In my head I see this
??? Intellect
??? Stamina
??? Haste
??? Haste
Is that possible?
30% haste isnt all to hard as long as you pick your gear by haste. i´m ilv 833 and i just reached 30% haste. The damag on single target is still lower then most other specs. It also sucks if you get knocked back, stuned or have 2 move while in voidform. We make one mistake and our hole dps is crap. is there any others class which loses so much dps when they have to deal with mechanics ?
I am 842 with 23% haste O.o
