I'll only worry about dps right off the bat in terms of having a bit of a measuring stick for my progress. I read somewhere (I forgot where, unfortunately) that Arcane is least dependent on gear because it requires the least amount of Hit Rating from gear. In terms of Crit and Haste, however, wouldn't that be a blanket statement? Don't you always want more Crit and Haste, as opposed to Hit, which has a known cap? Thanks for the advice.

All three specs require a bit of gear before starting to really take off. Fire and Frostfire specifically, require a fair bit of crit before you start seeing regular hot streaks. Frost and Arcane require a bit of haste as well. Don’t worry about dps the moment you hit 80. All three specs require a bit of gear before starting to really take off.
