- IS it worth beeing fire destro without a fire mage?

The synergy you lose from fire will overall give you lower dps, however play what you enjoy you don't really need to min max at your gear level. If you were having dps problems on brut or something my advice would be different but play what you enjoy. Fire is still a decent spec for you even with the lack of haste. The fire mage is unfortunate but as your mage's gear improves you will see them move toward fire.

- Does the specc look okay, or have I missed something

Your spec is fine you picked all the key fire talents. I prefer sburn over 1/3 imp SP but that is just for farming and trash.

- Is it worth giving up the top position in the damage charts just because Im a bit bored with soulshard farming?

You pay money to play this game have fun with it. I would suggest moving back to shadow for sunwell dps races etc but take a break from shadow and enjoy the change.

- What about a fire lock as Illidan tank?

No problems here you will actually put out very good threat and be able to pick up a dps rotation faster as fire. (Emberstorm etc)

- Haste or crit? What stat is the most important for a fire lock?

Haste is the more important of the two however there are very few items in BT that are properly itemized to make them worthwhile. Obviously things like the skull and the staff are great investments but steer clear of all the ZA haste crap. The trash ring is the only decent piece with haste pre T6 and in T6 its just bracers, skull, staff, and the ring of ancient knowledge. Do not gimp your other stats for haste stacking, haste will start to show up more on sunwell gear.
