Gemming question and Professor Putricide question

So I got two upgrades yesterday, new necklace and finally got my exalted AV ring (yay!), check my armory if needed. So my question is, with the two gem socket, they are yellow with a +5SP bonus. Is it better to:
Gem straight spell power (46SP total)
Gem spell power/haste (34SP and 20 Haste total)
Also, for the affliction warlocks out there doing Professor Putricide, do you find you are able to get the slimes down fast enough? I was having a hard time getting any real damage to them as affliction. This was in 10 man, perhaps 25 man would be a bit different. I had to switch destruction.
Would it be best if affliction to just spam shadow bolt and forget dots, and keep dots rolling on PP? Just curious to know what other locks are doing on this fight, cause I really love affliction!

The items so much aren't the issue, I was wondering as a general idea if it was better to gem one way over the other. My armory link is posted.
Also I have tried Simcraft before, clearly I was doing something wrong because I tried different configurations and it kept giving me the same dps lol... I'll tinker with it later I guess.

We're essentially looking at 12 spellpower versus 20 haste. For the 20 haste to be better, its normalised stat weight with respect to spellpower must be at least 0.6 (12/20). Typically for affliction warlocks haste is valued at 80-90% of spellpower, so gemming two reckless ametrines would be beneficial to the effect of 6 equivalent-spellpower (0.9*20-12) or around 10 dps.
I find I do respectable damage on Putricide slimes as affliction, and it also allows me to damage the boss simultaneously so I find I have a large damage advantage over the others I run with. Here's the latest combat log to illustrate my tactics in the fight:
Gas Cloud
Volatile Ooze
Putricide
Thanks! Very much the response I was looking for. Looking at those logs, you did significantly more damage on Putricde than the rest of your team. Just out of curiosity, what addons do you use to track your dots on both the boss and the add?
I have been using DoTimer and it has been ok, but just wondering if maybe there is something more efficient I might try.

What I have been doing on professor is that I'll put my teleport underneith the brown/orange orb in the wall. Then get in range of the green one when its spawns. As he casts unstable experiment i'll refresh all dots on the boss regardless of time left.(i know clipping is bad, but if im not going to be attack him for 15-20+ secs i'll want those to tick off while im working on add)
Lay up the dots on the add asap, spam sbolt and I don't move. Unless he targets me, then i teleport and he's usually dead before he reaches me. If he does, he's almost dead and the one explosion is absorbed by the raid.
We've beaten him on 10m, and gotta to below 10% on 25M.. ran out of attempts though.
Oh and gemming wise, If it's SP or Haste, I go for the socket bonus, if it's like spirit, crit, intel, etc. I don't.
