i thought haste was ment to affect DoTs AND improve melee resource regen, as part of blizz's plan to make haste attractive to melee classes.
i was also sure the "melee speed" buffs and debuffs are not considered haste and therefor will not affect resource regen, which is why icy talons and all the 10% speed raid buffs affect speed and not haste.

how come our diseases suddenly arent affected by haste, and how come our runes stop regenerating when we loose attack speed (not haste)?

If Haste gets you more (resource), then haste doesn't affect your DoTs and HoTs. The only specs that get both are ret paladins and enhance shamans; ferals technically get both, if they use spells. Both ret and enhance are more cooldown limited than resource limited, though; of course, rets can spec into haste affecting their most important short cooldown, too.

Feral bleeds, Rogue poisons and bleeds, Warrior bleeds, DK diseases, and Hunter poisons, bleeds, burns, and whatever Black Arrow is, aren't affected by Haste, except that more haste means you can apply them more often.
