In fact, I noticed about the same amount of damage or less on some fights. At that point I was trading down from 51.5% haste raid buffed to the NT tick cap, and going back to pure haste the next week just felt more productive. I think too much discount is being given to IV glyph. Yes, it is strongest with Lust and openers, but you get 10 seconds of that with a frozen orb every minute. Each mini-IL, FB or FFB has a chance to crit, raising the dmg potential way above the 20% flat listed on the glyph description.
Not to mention that you spend a lot of time casting FB between peak dmg opportunities, and more FB = more IL especially with the 4pc - regardless of how well it works, its still a bump. That coupled with the rppm behavior, I don't understand how haste before 53.85% can be dismissed as unhelpful.
Maybe I didn't give the re-gem a long enough trial, but I enjoyed playing with more haste than I did without.
