Resto Druid: Haste breakpoints / Int or Mastery?

Hi Paragon & others! I have some questions regarding Resto Druids.

Whats the haste breakepoints (In haste rating) for all our hots with both Dark intent and 5% haste buff?
Can't seem to find any reliable info about this in -haste rating-, and not in ''%'' that says how much haste that's needed to add another tick on each of our hots, so I am hoping anyone using this forum can give me some feedback on that. ;)

Also I would like some info with only the 5% buff without DI.

Secondly, I am wondering when/if Mastery becomes a more powerfull stat then intellect (I am obviously thinking maybie in Firelands, or when we have Sinestra on farm) (in my case 10 man)
And to all who are gonna say ''that depends if you are a tank healer, or raid healer'' I just say 99% of my hots are used after WG to use the mastery as good as possible, like any (not completly retarded resto druid would do) so I feel like mastery is a very powerfull stat in 10 man even for raid healing. Any thoughts from a more experienced player than me? Will we EVER gem mastery over int :]

Also why did Xaar leave paragon?! (According to wowprogress.com)

Can't remember any of the breakpoints with DI, as we put it on dps 99% of the time. Check out the EJ thread or TreeCalcs for the exact values.

As I was pretty slow to answer, I'm sure you're aware that mastery has been entirely changed. Now it's a flat +% healing bonus for 10 seconds after any direct heal.

It is very strong with current numbers. Should be very clearly better than crit / non-bp haste, but intuition would say that it won't have any chance of surpassing intellect in value in any near future. It might not be worth it to even try to get the WG breakpoint (2005) in 4.2 if the values stay as they are, as you need to make a lot of compromises to get there.

Disclaimer: I haven't done any math on it yet, just throwing around impressions - I'll leave the number crunching closer to the release (and/or to others).

My 'proper' nick just freed on the server so I was quick to snatch it while it was available. It was a drag having a different nick and character name :)
