    Well, from the information I can gather by quickly looking around:
    New Black Magic = 250 haste for 10 seconds, with a 35s ICD. That rougly gives a 27% uptime, which yields 67.5 passive haste, compared to the SP enchant which is +63 passive SP (or +81 when using a staff). I would still go with the SP one. Simple maths.

    EDIT: The 35s ICD doesn't seem right to me, it feels like it should be 45s, in which case both SP enchantments would be far superior.

    They are currently tweaking numbers.
    Right now, providing that you have under 300 haste, they are about equal.

    YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY.

    I will try to do a 3.3 synopsis thread when they get closer to release.

    I would imagine that spell power would end up being superior overall, but for certain fights black magic might end up better overall, one of which that comes to mind would be gothik, I think its gothik the one with the live side and undead side, because your IC would be ticking while your not casting leading to an "inflated" uptime, but I would say overall the spell power would be far superior for a staff, and marginaly so for a 1 hander.

    SP enchants are better in its current state. I can't imagine there being a change in that until gear reaches an SP cap like it did going into SWP in TBC. Until then SP will be the priority stat for warlocks.
