Now, I may just be an enhancement shaman forced to do-the-resto on nights with low healer turn-up, but I find haste to be king on the fights in heroic DS I have to heal.
In my experience, I see a devaluing of our single-target heals and an overwhelming surge in AoE healing casts, which take a fairly long time to get out. On heroic Morchok, where you have little time to cast inbetween getting knocked around by crystals and having to move to the next, having that little bit of extra haste really shines... especially when trying to compete with those other healers with instant cast AoEs. Almost every fight has everyone stacking at critical moments, and chaining those heals together becomes that much more important.

But then again, I am just an offspec dude using other, better healers as crutches, and so my mastery never really kicks in to its full effect with everyone staying at stable levels.

Haste pulls ahead when your other healers aren't leaving you much to heal, and it will largely depend on the healing team you have at your disposal.

Also, Nice icon :D
