Arcane Mage: Haste vs. Crit?

I recently hit 80 on my mage and an getting into Heroics now. I am already hit capped at 11% for the Arcane spec.
Now my question is, which benefits an Arcane mage more: Haste or crit?
I know that Deep Fire builds tend to require 35% crit, but no one in my guild is experienced with Arcane PvE to give me any reliable answers. Most of the mages ingame that I know have only ever played Fire, and refuse to play anything else.
Any info or insight you guys can give me would be great.

Tyvm. I figured haste was better, but more experienced raiders were telling me otherwise. I read somewhere in one of the stickies that haste was better, but never thought much of it until I hit 80 a few patches later.
So far I'm at 171 haste rating, about 5%. Not many options so far, but I'll be sure to stay on the lookout for some nice pieces.

I have FFB and Arcane dual spec, but personally I don't like playing Fire. At all. I leveled Frost until I got FFB and changed spec to that to try it out for a bit. I just don't like playing Fire. Arcane is fun for me and that's what I'm sticking with. It may not be the "best", but at least I'm not hating my character.
I haven't raided yet on my mage, but running heroics I'm about the same dps as FFB and Arcane. What I do in AoE dmg as FFB I make up for in single target as Arcane.
