I beat my old #1 log on Council again by a mastery build, despite playing a heavy haste build the other times. It's really RNG and if you don't want to regem / reforge for every boss, a strong 8100 / mastery build is the best overall ToT spec in my opinion. I wanted to go up in haste really fast too, as soon as i got gear, but it didnt feel amazing. You loose all your damage on Lei Shen and Durumu, while the mastery build still stays strong and live for rest of the encounters. I wouldnt even speculate in haste until you reach the 14900 values, but thats my opinion.
Low haste builds make you able to play Destruction, Affliction and Demonology without Reforging and spending a ton of gold for each boss, and the most fun bosses scales the best with those stats regardless : )

Dont trust simcraft and RPPM system with haste scaling, its 10.000 tries vs the few pulls you do on a boss :< Last reset i had 3% on jinrokh and 4% on mag on my 2/2 HC TF ULVS, despite that it should increase with ilvl. Game is RNG, simc overvalues haste becasue over 10.000 tries it flattens out the RNG you have killing a boss 20 times in your life!
