At level 60, why not just go with Black Magic. It's going to be a massive amount of haste and it will probably be more
fun
than just straight spell power. Even at 80, the spellpower barely beats out the amount of haste.

Wrong. At 80 there is no contest between +81 and Black Magic. +81 wins outright.
If I remember correctly, it went like this:
Black Magic for 1h weapons
81SP for staves/2H weapons.

If this is true, I don't see how this conflicts with what Sinespe has written anyway.

At level 80 it's a close call between BM and 63sp for a 1h weapon. The BM proc takes some adjustment to use properly, and even if you do manage to maximize it, it's a tiny upgrade over 63sp.
For staves, 81sp is way out front.
At level 60 though it's a very interesting question. For soloing/questing it would be a waste, since mobs go down too fast to get much benefit from a random haste proc whose major benefit is its effects on your dots. (MB > MF > MF > SWD oops dead.) For boss fights in instances -- damn that would be nice. You get 3x the benefit from haste at level 60: it takes 10 haste rating per 1% haste, as opposed to 32 haste rating per 1% at level 80. So instead of a 7.6% haste proc (at level 80) it would be a 25% haste proc. Tasty.

Outright? I was under the assumption that the Black Magic enchant was worth the equivalent of about 69 spellpower. I didn't think 12 'spellpower' was all that big of a deal.
I can, however, see the merits of having almost 100 extra spellpower at all times as opposed to a chance at haste.
Still, I say the haste would be more fun at 60. Weapon procs usually are, especially when its 25% Haste at the time.

12 spellpower IS a big deal. That's why we enchant staves with 81 spellpower and now 63, which is "only" a difference of 18.

is
a game about the 1% differences.
