You only really should match the socket colour if you're going for a really good socket bonus (7+), otherwise go for whatever stats you need. If you're in lower level gear you will need to start building a mana pool, so use the intellect gems. If you're in higher tier raiding, you'd likely be using the haste gems.

A lot of people discount
Ember Skyflare Diamond
. Certainly only use it once you no longer need the regen from
Insightful Earthsiege
, but it is obviously a better choice for throughput. The other thing is it doesn't require nasty blue gems to activate.

it is very odd with all the stickies there isnt much mention of gems.
True. Except the holy guide is 6 months old, and the disc guide was transcribed from its original in Aramaic over a year ago (read: it's
very
old). Gemming strategies change every three months in my experience.
New raid tier with high-end gear from the previous tier
Mid raid tier, quirky hybrid mixed-tier gear
Mid raid tier, mostly gear from this tier, but uncoordinated (i.e., no 4pc set)
End of pre-heroic tier, coordinated tier gear
Beginning of heroic raid tier (which is usually a smooth road through the end of the heroic raid tier)
Gemming strategy is also a reflection of class knowledge. Once you understand the function of intellect, crit, and haste, and how they affect your power, gemming is just the tail of the dog, wagged by your overarching gear goals. It's not a separate issue.

Gearing Up for Raids IV
, section 11
Granted the entire guide is completely outdated and the gems are still rare quality. Also, it more goes into what you could equip rather than what you should equip.
