On the flipside, if he's just getting badge gear the haste cap is moot. There is no reason to strive for haste cap unless you need it. Don't need it for heroics, heck, don't necessarily need it for 10 mans either. If you're a 25 man raiding tree then use the trophies and stack 4pc t9 and get as much haste as you can but don't worry about cap unless your struggling or pushing hard modes.
Can also try and spec into CF if you want more haste..
Unless you're running hardmode togc and getting 25 man icc gear at current release lvls there isn't much better gear than 4pc t9
