Personally, what I was hoping to see here was a Hit vs. Haste analysis for SMF, since last I heard the other priorities were pretty set in stone (although Mastery and Hit will juggle back and forth for TG, but that's dependent entirely on your own personal gear, so there's no one true answer for everyone).

The reason that other stats like Haste and Mastery and potentially taking precedence over Hit is the incredible amount of incoming damage that we're seeing with this tier compared to Wrath. In WotLK, a lot of damage on DPS in raids was entirely avoidable. In Cata, because of the new paradigm of across-the-board high HP, most encounters feature a constant stream of unavoidable incoming damage in addition to the bigger spikes, which for Warriors, means more incoming Rage that isn't a result of our white hits.
