I too though am interested in the DPS Values of each stat. I mean I know basically what to look for, but sometimes it's a really tough choice when trying to decide if I should replace a piece that has a lot of crit for say a piece with a good amount of Haste, while the Spell Dam/Spirit/Sta/Int are roughly even. Seeing as you would obviously have to do this part of the guide up before you can work on the rest of it, could you post that up if/when it is available? This way I can at least calculate the values of my current gear and look at what I am about to be running and calculate those and see if a piece will be an upgrade for me before running so I don't hold up the group trying to make a decision.

If not, no biggie, I sit there and try to make those decision ahead of time anyway, this would just make it a lot easier for myself and many others.

Also, I know you put a time frame up there, but how's it coming so far, would you call it 1/4 of the way done? 1/2? Just curious.

Unfortunately finding these exact values is one of the hard parts to writing the guide (and Leulier's/Bakka's spreadsheet isn't 100% accurate right now). Without speculating too much, I would say roughly this is how it will look.
Affliction:
Spell hit: 100
Spell damage: 100
Spel haste: 80
Spell crit: 80
Spirit: 40
Intellect: 10
Stamina: 0

Destruction:
Spell hit: 100
Spel haste: 80
Spell crit: 80
Spell damage: 70
Spirit: 30
Intellect: 10
Stamina: 0

Note that these are very, very rough estimates and the final values will be pretty much exact to the point based off the spreadsheets. But hopefully that should give you a bit of an idea if you're completely lost.

Lately I've been working on leveling to 80 (just dinged today!) and had finals so I haven't had a chance to work on it in a week or so. I'll start polishing it up again after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I'd expect it to be out mid-December.
