I am also considering to go fire more and more nowadays. What I am wondering is which haste plateau I should be aiming for. Or is it not important at all as everyone keeps talking about the 36-39% crit chance only?
I am also questioning whether is it viable to go fire without any 1.4k haste trinkets (elegon or 5.2 trinkets).
My gear atm is full 522 with some HC items. Fire is supposed to be better at the "high end" gear, yeah, but what does that mean exactly.
I checked some spreadsheets prepared by some analysts, and it seems to me haste should be around 11.5k maybe? I think it is too much crit sacrification with my current level of gear, and impossible to reach without a haste trinket. Another option is waiting for your haste proc trinkets to proc to put up a combustion, but that does not guarantee you would have the best ignites you could.
Bottom line is, I am lost about where to aim for the haste plateue. I dont think I will have more haste as fire than I have as frost atm, and all I got is 8.7k haste, without any stable haste trinkets.
Just play the spec you enjoy the most.
I'm 527 ilvl and I'm in love with frost, the pure speed of the spec, the meta gem uptime, frozen orb tearing adds apart and most of all watey the beloved water element.
One of best pieces of advice I've seen on this forum is play what you enjoy and don't let anyone force you into a spec otherwise you'll slowly start to hate playing.
you might be content with doing whatever you enjoy the most, mate. but there are some realities on each spec on a fightly basis. you might be raiding lfr, raiding casual or whatever but each spec has some advantages over the others on each fight. I will never play anything but frost in Tortos (lfr, normal,hc), just like I have never played anything but fire in Garalon.
and again, i repeat the question I have directed a post up:

If someone who is playing fire and good with the ranks of it could answer that, I would be extremely glad.

Don't worry about haste breakpoints as fire, they will come naturally with gear just focus on crit beacuse it's far superior stat! Also you would not want to wait for haste trinkets to proc before you use your combustion, it's more important to have a big ignite. Quite frankly fire is pretty dependant on int proc trinkets so if you don't have any you might have a bit of a hard time to be honest. I remember at start of ToT where I ran with 522 valor trinket and HC sha trinket, it sucked balls so hard beacuse it's hard to get good ignites without those juicy ignite procs!
Anyways if you could link your armory I could probably take a closer look, I'm at 14500 crit roughly and 7k haste atm but I'm pretty decently geared!
My plan is to stay frost, however certain guildies of mine literally can't stop saying I should be fire. Despite the fact another mage and I both sim less with fire, both tested fire on a dummy, and yeah your missing buffs etc..but frost still did more on a dummy, when your also missing a lot of buffs and etc.
I just can't see fire doing more with the numbers im seeing..And if it does more it has to be by a few k unless you get ungodly rng. Which I hate rng.
I'm frost, and as long as i'm not dead last dps i'm not gonna play a spec I don't enjoy.
In fact, i'm first on almost every fight, and i'm ranking pretty often despite beeing only 8/12. ( http://raidbots.com/epeenbot/eu/kael'thas/daa/ )
I tried fire maybe a month ago, results weren't optimal at all, in fact it was sub-par, and I didnt have fun. Frost with the meta and double RPPM trinkets is very fun, i'm dumping most of my crit into mastery now so more procs, less downtime !
same same, just different progress (9/13hm)I'm frost, and as long as i'm not dead last dps i'm not gonna play a spec I don't enjoy.

Whether you think you can, or can't - your right!

I got SUPER lucky last night getting tier chest AND Cha'ye off of Animus. I have been playing round with the 4 pc in my current frost spec, but I am eyeballing fire. My only real misgiving is that fire casts like molasses in winter compared to median geared frost.
