Quote:well..... I downloaded all the rogue sheets, and none of them have the changes to the yellow gem listed. I will have to do some hard number crunching to see what I can get my haste to.
The sheets with gear & buff definitions are generally hidden, so you can go to Format -> Sheet -> Unhide and change whatever you want.
Using the Roguecraft BC 0.4.1 spreadsheet, I changed a Jagged Deep Peridot (worst gem in the sheet) to give +8 haste rating to simulate a Quick Dawnstone. Putting one in every available socket on my current live gear (but keeping the necessary gems for the meta requirement), and using what will probably become the standard Combat Swords raiding build in 3.0 (5/51/5), I get a DPS loss of ~4.5 which is actually less than I expected. When I put in The Bladefist & Blackout Truncheon, drop Sword Spec, and add Mace Spec + Close Quarters Combat, I lose ~160dps though. The procs on those weapons combined with the relative strength of Sword Spec isn't enough to make up the difference.
My current gear is by no means haste-heavy (only 28 rating total) so results will probably vary with higher-end stuff.
