Mages, Warlocks, and Spriests get about 0.3 spellpower out of each point of spirit. So if you are taking +spirit gear from a healer you are a jackass. Hell if you take if from an Spriest that dual specs to healing when needed you are a jackass.

Summary: +spirit gear is totally sub-optimal for DPS casters and we only currently have talents that convert it because Blizzard didn't want to see wasted gear. This will be gone in cata but I bet some jackasses will still roll on +spirit gear.

People should be using mods like class loot which prioritise gear by which specs can best use it.
