What's your haste at?

Both.
It doesn't take *THAT* much spell power before Lightning Bolt gets better DPS-wise, but Chain Lightning can still prove useful, when you get an amount of haste, such that the time till your Lava Burst is off cooldown is less than Chain Lightning's cast time (roughly said).
This only applies to single-target however. With more than one mob present, Chain Lightning rules supreme.

Haste doesn't lower CD.
Haste does however help you get 4-5 LBs in before the Cooldown is over. Which gives you A LOT more dps that 3 LBs and a CL

My exact point. Naturally, haste doesn't lower the Lava Burst CD, but it increases the amount of spells you can cast before it's off cooldown again.

I believe one of the main reasons for using LB over CL is that the chance for Overload to proc is higher for a single target than it is with a single hit of CL. Can't think of where I've read this though, but if anyone knows, please link = )

or that it does more damage

Single target LB is the way, anymore than 1 chuck a CL after every CD

incorrect up to a certain amount of haste and SP

I thought because of
Shamanism
and
Glyph of Lightning Bolt
, that a straight up LB spam during Lava Burst cooldowns was the way to go. Got no math to back it up however.

I currently get atleast 4 LBs per LvB CD. This will make your DPS jump quite a bit
