Of those two items, the Caster helm is worth around +27 dps to a 3.0 second spell talented to 2.5 seconds (more for elemental shaman, less for untalented spells). The Rogue one is worth around +6 dps plus specials (very generously another 6 dps) and the hit/crit/dodge chance. I'd rather have the 27, thanks.
It's also very possible to build caster helms with a wide stat spread - using six entries as that Rogue one does could give something like 1% spell hit, 1% spell crit, +25 Int, +25 Stam, +30 damage/healing and +30 to a random spell school (or something near that, I haven't calculated the cost).
