Haste vs. Crit
Ok, so I know the popular idea about crit for an 0/21/40 warlock is you should have ~20% unbuffed minimum, and that you need to get to really high spell damage levels like 1400 or so before you should start stacking spell haste (at least thats what I've read). I also know that for a raiding warlock, the very most important thing is to stack hit gear and spell damage until you reach the hit cap. However, when I plug my numbers into the spreadsheet on maxdps.com, I end up having a higher dps by stacking up haste rather than crit, and I was pretty sure that takes into accound ISB. Either way, is it still better for me to stack haste than crit at the moment, considering that there are usually 3 other destro locks with plenty of crit in my raid (so ISB uptime is never really a problem)?
Here's the link to my armory if you want to see my gear.
The World of Warcraft Armory
Also, my stats are around 17% crit, 1k +shadow damage unbuffed, and 80 haste rating (5% faster cast speed)
Thanks!

err, about 16% crit, sorry about that

Oh and, of course, the main reason I'm asking this is aggro management. Even though you're getting off more SB's the more haste you have, higher crit levels to me always add up to pulling aggro and I have to SS or, if its on cooldown, back off and thats a real dps killer. I figured stacking haste would help with aggro management more than stacking crit.
