Demonology: Stats with priority?

Hi,
I have a little problem with my lock. I really can't figure out which stats are in priority. Well I know that Spelldamage > hit > Intellect (stamina is just on any part of gear). But one thing confuses me and that is crit and haste. Which one is better for Demonology Lock?

Spelldamage > hit
Allright did I type that wrong but I cant find the answer on my question in your FAQ...

Q: Do the different warlock specs have different gear requirements?
A:
No.
This was the case in previous expansions and is a misconception which lingers into Wrath of the Lich King. All the major warlock specs follow very similar stat weightings meaning that there is no such thing as "affliction gear" or "destruction gear". While the various specs get slightly more or less from a given stat, the stat priorities are the same for all specs.
Hit(to cap) ► SP ► haste ►spirit ► crit
at very high gear levels demonology locks find spirit overtaking haste but don't worry too much about that for now.

personal. rDPS makes spirit even stronger but it's FAR more difficult to be definitive when talking about rDPS.

Personal I dont like spirit to increase my dps.
I find haste more attractive.
Spirit provides some spellpower and a larger scale on Life Tab so stacking is not really my priority after a while. Haste I've stoped stacking too becouse a 2 second cast shadowbolt seems to me too mutch! Now I mainly focus on crit and hit (somehow I allways lost rating).
Anyway thanks for the help :)

non-sensical

there is not such thing as too much until you hit the 1second minimum. this is foolish.

hit is good. cap it.
crit is bad. stop stacking crit.
@zeph, yes i guess it's the various haste soft caps and a large amount that comes from master summoner.
