as i see it, that's when you make it complicated.

i read your article on haste plateaus over at the WHU several times, and came to the conclusion that, given i don't have the 4 set bonus, and would never reach the soft plateau through reforging, it's better for me to reforge into crit.
i would suppose this holds true for most people.

so while there actually would be this squishy soft plateau which would have me gain a bit more dps through haste, i would ignore it until i get the 0.2 sec reduced cast time which brings me much closer to the next plateau. and from that point each point of haste actually gives me a dps gain, while i've already reached the soft plateau with 4 set bonus+current haste.

the annoying thing with haste is how it shifts in the stat priority from desirable, to useless, to desirable again.

as response to your point 3) Frost, i was referring to the hard plateaus obviously, the equation would without a doubt be a bit more complicated for the soft plateau :)
