Hit Rating until hit capped.
Spell power > Haste Rating > Crit Rating > Intellect
Mp5 and Spirit are useless because you get enough mp5 from reduced spell costs, water shield, thunder storm, and 12% of your intellect going towards mp5. Add your mana spring totem or blessing of wisdom as well as replenishment and you should never run out of mana given the right raid setup.
As for rotation, it's more about priority.
Priority #1: Flame Shock on target
Priority #2: Lava Burst is ready
Priority #3: Chain Lightning is ready
Priority #4: Lightning Bolt (filler)
Good luck raiding :)
Best summary ever.

Except the fact that Lightning Bolt is in fact stronger than Chain Lightning, and the use of that is based upon the time you got left till your Lava Burst is ready again, ie. depending on haste.

more haste makes LB stronger than CL

Hmm, to be more correct, it's because LB scales alot better with spellpower, and haste scales with spellpower.
Haste itself doesn't make CL better than LB as the percentage-wise DPS-increase from haste itself is the same.

the cast time of CL doesnt get lowered proportionally as much as LB and LB still gets more contribution from SP

... Yes it does - Haste gives a percentage increase in casting speed, thus giving a percentage DPS increase, as haste is calculated with (where the Casting Time is after talents):
(Casting Time)/(1 + (% Spell Haste / 100))
Unless there's a secret thing somewhere that gives LB more benefit from raw haste rating, the above will be a clear fact.
and LB still gets more contribution from SP
Yes, but that wasn't the point - we all know that (or should, at least). That's exactly what makes haste better, but it isn't the haste itself.

... did you even

the post?
I don't know what you're trying to show me, but what I'm showing is that if you increase any value by a percentage, it gets that percentage larger. It doesn't matter what the value is - they still get increased by the same percentagewise amount.

those of you who didnt argue excessivly
... I'm sorry, but I was attempting to show why the "haste alone makes LB stronger than CL"-statement is wrong, instead of just letting you have false information. With so much wrong information being tossed about.. I'd say it's needed.
You're welcome :(
