Runaway Haste

We are going to be much more vigilant about haste getting out of control (from talents and gear) to where GCD issues get to be a problem. Simply making non-haste stats more attractive will help as well.

While technically a mage bluepost, this is relevant to our interests, as warlocks were hit with runaway haste, as well. Personally, I think the first step would have been to equalize the haste and crit ratings, or even make crit rating a slightly higher percentage conversion than haste. That lower conversion played a big part in haste being just so damn good in Wrath. However, the only warlock spec with significant haste issues was destruction, and destruction has a notable feature that might solve the problem. It's second mastery bonus is Critical Strike Damage. One of the easiest ways to increase the value of crit is to make crits bigger relative to hits, which is exactly what destruction's mastery promises to do.
