There's a friend of mine that wants to stack HASTE to DPS.
Also, he wants to dps in Unholy Presence.
He says:
More Haste = More Hits = More Crits = More Damage
I said that Blood Presence is better for the 15% more damage, and in PvE burst is useless, it's DPS that counts...
I'm the one wrong or him?

Explain it to him like this:
If he were to stack crit, he would get more crits than if he stacked haste.
So More Crit = More Crits = More Damage
BUT, if he were to stack Strength, his normal hits would hit harder and he wouldn't need to crit as much.
So More Strength = More Damage
I can't even help with the presence thing. It's a fundamental thing with DKs. Unholy presence leaves you with all runes on CD and nothing to do; Blood does FIFTEEN PERCENT MORE DAMAGE. If he can't grasp that, smack him around a little and tell him to reroll.

Has anyone ever done the math on how much
Improved Unholy Presence
would have to reduce your rune CDs in order to be a better DPS increase than Blood Presence?

As for the earlier DK stacking haste, I'd strongly say that was a bad decision, but if he ever starts topping dps meters I'd be willing to start questioning my beliefs on haste.
Even if he does start topping meters with Haste, it's still not relevant until more rigorous testing is done. You cannot say, "I top meters while stacking Haste so Haste must be good." Too many factors come into play: relative gear levels, other raid members' skill, group composition, RNG, etc.
Just because someone is consistently topping meters out does not mean that whatever they are doing is correct 100%. We've all been in PUGs where you've blown others out of the water without trying or being undergeared in comparison.
Topping meters is anecdotal evidence at best when viewed in an isolated instance like that.
However, if he starts topping WORLDWIDE meters, I'd be a little more forthcoming to view Haste in a new light. Perhaps this is what you meant?
