When you can't keep up your tank with HL spamming.
(Which seems to be never by the way)

HL spamming is very mana intensive but is still the best way to keep the tank alive.
Stacking intellect increases the mana pool and gives spell power, spell crit, and mana regen. (revitalize/replenishment/divine plea)
Stacking spell power would largely just increase the overhealing Holy Light does.
Stacking mp5 only benefits your mana regen.
Stacking crit will increase your mana longevity thanks to Illumination.
Stacking haste would reduce the cast time of Holy Light letting you burn mana quicker which can lead to going oom sooner. (you should have all the haste you need from gear)
Intellect is the clear way to go as it does what mp5, crit, and spell power do while also allowing you to cast for longer durations without going oom.

Haste doesn't necessarily lead to burning mana faster. If you're assigned to one tank and one tank only your haste doesn't effect how much mitigation and avoidance your tank has, nor does it affect the boss's swing timer. You have the
capacity
to heal faster with more haste, which is obviously going to lead to running out of mana sooner, but unless the raid's DTPS increases or you start sniping heals you aren't going to burn through mana faster.
That said, your haste is high enough that you can tank heal if you make good use of precasting.

You should never ever gem haste (for pve that is).
Haste follows a graph (of course curve shouldn't be that expreme. I wouldn't bother getting the exact graph, but you get my point.)
The effect diminishs as you get more and more haste. And for holy pallies, its
I looked over armories of some of the best holy pally in the world. And some of them had more than 900 haste.
I have 600-650 haste depending on what gear I choose to swap on.
When I did the calculation a holy pally with more than 900 haste had .2 sec faster HL than me. Nice ain't it? .2 sec is a huge difference BUT they had like less than 30 MP5 while casting with all int trinkets.
That all concludes into one point; They are not HL spammers, their just HL users.
When you choose to spam spells you practically don't need huge amount of haste.

P.S. I might be a little biased though. I'm an engineerer so I have hyperspeed accelerator (340 haste rating) but that's the plus side I'm gonna get for not going jewelcrafting :P

This and when you
know
you'll end the currently most mana draining fight in game with more than 20% mana.

Haste is the best stat to go after wherever you cant go for Int.
