Your individual stat values change according to your stats. As you get more AP, haste becomes that much better. As you get more haste, AP becomes that much more powerful. Arp scales with itself for instance, the more of it you have, the better it gets.

You need to look at the dps. Change the gems to what will provide the best dps.

If you are going to wear your current gear for a long time, then sure, balance AP and Haste gems (But watch out, you'll end up gemming ArP once you gear up anyway). But if you're currently progressing and gearing up actively, then just stick to AP in red sockets with AP/Haste in yellow sockets
for now
. Difference between the two is negligible because the main factor deciding whether you're doing good or bad is how you press your keys and how well you can survive a fight with a lot of raid damage.

Dont know if this is any help, but then I turned 80 and was looking for rading and pvp gear, i was confused about all the charts and stuff you can get as an rogue.
Different tool gave me different avswers, and I kinda gave up.
I am pretty much following your advice as I am STILL confused as all hell. It seems my first task is to reach the hit cap for poisons at the very least. I am about to be 26/26 in expertise as soon as I find someone to cut the gem I want and then I am a few away from the hit cap. I suppose at that point I will fatten up on AP, AGI, and Haste.
Of course, I am in mostly 200 and 232 gear and I have not planned ahead one bit.

There's lots of times with the spreadsheet where you get a gear/enchant/gem choice flipping back and forth as you adjust to it's siggestion.
Aldriana has stated that the sheet is "dumb" in that it will just give a maths answer, you need to interpret and maybe think about why it's doing what it's doing.
In your case, you add haste which means the AP you have is being applied to hits more often. At some point you will get to a situation where again AP is needed as you will land stronger hits rather than more of them.
The best way to use the sheet is to take the recommendations for everything then once you're largely setup start trying a few tweaks and push for the biggest DPS number you can. Keep an eye on the EP weights as they will give you an idea whats happening. If the EP for AP is 2.12 and the EP for haste is 2.11 it's very likely to show AP is good, once gemmed you will see the EP weights shift and suddenly haste is a stronger stat.
