Gemming for int is no longer a good idea because first of all even with tons of haste not many healers are going oom these days due to replen and gemming pure SP will obviously be better than convincing yourself of the tiny amount you can get from int.
The only other stat besides pure haste that you should be gemming for is SP for throughput purposes, and this is usually if you are assigned to tank healing a lot or something of the sort. I don't know why you aren't using CH in ICC, I use it all the time. Most geared shamans these days are actually over 1k haste (I am at 985 myself) so you're really not going overboard or anything.
Basically, if you feel your heals aren't hitting hard enough or you tank heal a lot maybe gemming for more SP is the answer for you, as long as you can continue to keep up with the other raid healers. It is up to you to find the right balance to suit your raid.

Even if you are a LHW spammer I think haste is still the superior stat to stack seeing as it takes quite a bit of haste to bring LHW down to 1sec
Once LHW reaches 1sec though then for those people stacking SP at that point becomes resonable

It doesnt say most HPS but most efficient.
and I did found a table somewhere but I cant remember where.... It shows your efficiency of your heals. Sorry but I cannot find it.
I think they are talking about HPM there. But HPS is easy to check:
Let's disregard all buffs that affect both CH and LHW equally. We get ~50% crit chance for LHW due to Tidal Waves and a 200% crit modifier due to Ancestral Awakening. With 3k spellpower that's roughly 4100 on a normal cast, 8200 on a crit, ~6150 each cast on average.
For CH it's ~25% crit, 5150 on the first target for a normal cast, ~6450 on average if we take crit into account.
At the 1s gcd cap we got 50% overall haste, meaning CH will cast in 1.6s if I'm not mistaken.
So overall LHW will have a little less than 60% higher raw HPS compared to CH when hitting only a single target. Since the secondary CH target will receive 60% healing of the primary one for 2 targets CH is already equally strong (or actually slightly superior, this is just napkin math and I rounded a lot, give or take a few percent but CH seems to have a small edge).
Conclusion: As long as you expect CH to jump at least once just spam it. Only when there will be no jumps at all you should go with LHW.
