Really dumb question time...

I am coming to terms (slowly) with having to put crit above haste when I am in destro spec.
Where I used to gem pure int and pure haste for red and yellow now I am gemming crit for yellow sockets. This still doesnt make sense(told you it was dumb question time), but it seems the only way to get the necessary crit for destro.
Am I really just doing it wrong? I looked in FAQ to see if there was a gemming change and it still says haste/int for yellow and haste/hit for blue. I understand people enjoy the combo gems but I like to just go pure stats. Dont ask me why I just do.(play style i suppose).
If I missed something in FAQs please feel free to point me in the right direction but I REALLY REALLY hate having to sometimes cast incinerate for 2 seconds(very rare but annoying when it happens).
Not having haste in my sockets just feels weird(and fire magey like)
*EDIT* My haste is still relatively low cause I am still working on some gear and some enchants. Link to my armory incoming.

What makes you think that you need crit?
Also, pure gems might feel nicer but you'll probably get more benefit from hybrids.

INT weighs higher than hit even before cap so there's no way using pure haste/crit gems is a good idea. Hybrids should only be used if the socket bonus is worth it or you're trying to activate a meta. Use reforging to reach the hit cap instead of gems in favor of the extra intellect.
Haste versus Crit for Destro requires simcraft. I've had sims turn up both ways, although mastery always seems to be the weak link.

Yeah I have reforged all spirit that I happen to end up with to hit and mastery gets changed to hit or crit.
The reason why I am stacking crit is because the guide is saying crit is higher than haste as far as stat weighing is going. I NEVER gem hit unless its a necessary evil.
The hybrids are nice but im a pure gem slot guy. Red/blue is my int gems(JC gems ftw) and yellow is haste..altho my yellow gems have become crit. Im hitting harder and the conflag and ISF buff are giving me a lot of haste but its annoying to have to cast an incinerate or two with a cast time higher than 2 seconds. I hate it...just a personal thing. Thats why I hate affliction's shadow bolt nuke. Id rather drain life nuke to be honest lol...
thanks for the tips tho.

You shouldn't even be rolling on Spirit gear anymore. None of your gear should have spirit.
