In comparison, lightweave is 2000 intellect for 15 seconds every minute, so that's 500 intellect on average if it procs right away, which it won't. So more like 465-475 intellect on average.
I don't think it's too unreasonable that 180 int + 480 haste can be better than 470ish int, especially when you consider the fact that bigger procs on longer cooldowns tend to sim better than smaller procs on shorter cooldowns due to massive proc stacking at the start of the fight. Obviously which one wins out will depend on your exact gear setup and which encounter you're going up against, but they should be pretty close in all cases.
