Gem and Stat confusion!

So I'm currently working on re-gemming my gear with epic gems and I'm not entirely sure of what gems to use. I have two specs I'm working with a resto spec and a boomkin spec. I'm thinking of pretty much using Runed Cardinal Rubys for both.
The problem lies in that I'm not 100% sure of what to stack. I know SP is good but are there any other stats that I should stack instead? Like I know spirit is good for resto but should I put spirit gems instead of the SP ones? If it helps I'm mainly Naxx-25-Ulduar-10 geared.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I figure I should mention that I am at 313 hit rating on my boomkin so all the +hit gems on there can go.

For moonkin, you want
Chaotic Skyflare Diamond
as your meta and probably
Purified Dreadstone
or
Misty Eye of Zul
to fulfill your blue requirements.
For the rest you either want to use
Runed Cardinal Rubies
or
Smooth King's Amber
depending on whether SP or Crit is better for you at your stats (I use maxdps.com to figure out; it suggests crit is still slightly better, per point, than SP for you, but that you'd be better of with RCRs).
Crit has come close but has yet to exceed Crit in dps gains. Stick with SP for gems. And take Crit on mixed gems to fulfill socket bonuses only.

sorry for the nubish question.. but doest anyone stacks haste?
Since eclipse became a talent, crit is typically more desired over haste because it has both mana regeneration from crit in moonkin form and you proc Eclipse. Not sure at what point you crit faster than the ICD allows Eclipse to be procced though.

359 for resto if I recall correctly and ~400 for boomkin. Haste is much better then crit up until this point for both specs when comparing only these two ratings. For boomkin you should not stack to much of one over the other until that 400 mark.
@OP I updated the gemming section for balance in the
Druid FAQ
in response to this post
