There is no real rule that works 100% of the case. That is why you need to use rawr if you want to be sure 99% of the time that you are using the best gems/enchants for your gear.
I usually go with the rule our friend has stated:
gem SP in red sockets. gem SP + haste in yellow sockets. gem 2 SP + spirit in blue sockets, if you can. if you have more blue sockets, SP will probably be the better choice, unless the socket bonus (which you would only go for if it's pure SP) bounces the SP back up to a good amount
However, I take into consideration the +bonus that gemming that item will have. If putting a yellow gem, for example, will give me a +6 bonus to sp, I'll go with sp + haste gems. Otherwise, I might go with pure +23sp gems. It all depends.
Bottom-line: if you wanna do it right, take time to learn how to use rawr, and let it decide for you (of course, always using your brain).

It depends and its not worth unless the bonus is 7 or higher.

Once you hit 3k spellpower (i believe), SP/Haste in yellow is always better. and slightly above that, SP/Haste trumps SP when Haste is valued at 1.2 against spellpower:
SP - 1 , Haste - 1.2
23 SP = 23
12 SP = 12, 10 haste = 12. Total=24
Only use a sp/spirit if:
-You dont have 2 on your gear.
-Or the Bonus is 7 spellpower or more.
