Actually, I'd say Crit outweighs Haste for Disc Priests, and here's why: Divine Aegis http://www.wowhead.com/spell=47515 . More Crits means more Aegis procs, which means more and bigger shields on your party members.

I haven't done the math personally, but I know some serious people who find being a disc priest to be serious business actually have, and they found that balance makes for the best throughput.

Pretty much what Justacronk said. The change to crit was a buff, but it didnt' buff crit enough to flat out change our stat priorities to push critical strike rating ahead of the other secondary stats. Remember that Divine Aegis, while significant, still pales in comparison to the amount of actual healing we do with our casted spells and shields. I want to stress that the only reason I said haste slightly outweighs crit is because I didn't want anyone inexperienced playing with the spreadsheet and jumping to premature conclusions because haste was a tiny bit ahead. The amount it beats out crit by is completely insignificant and balance truly is key. That is, unless you're playing a specific style of healing like the ones I listed as example.
