I'll look at the haste and start mining for haste gear. When we did Ulduar last week I won a trinket that was haste based but then gave it to one of our Mages as it was a slight upgrade for him
Do note that spriests also give the +3% hit, not just Boomkins. Not sure if you raid with one though.

And as others have said, you have a heavy focus on crit, but haste is more important. There are many raidbuffs that increase crit, not to mention your own Empowered Imp, but only very few that increase haste. Plus haste gives more effect per point then crit according to theorycrafting. ie. if you can get 45 haste or 50 crit, go for the haste.
I'd advice to stay away from haste-procs though. They have a tendency to mess up timing and a part of it often gets negated because the global cooldown gets in the way.
