... Some posters seem confused that Ragebringer was somehow changed, or that correcting the other haste items somehow affected it.

I looked through my old logs, and Seething Fury apparently has not been affecting the backstab cooldown timer since at least May 27, 2013 (I got my epic in 2012 but did not start using logs consistently until May 2013). Interestingly, Runebranded Girdle (27% worn haste) also didn't have an affect on the cooldown at that point in time. Something may have changed since then, as my recent tests using Renard's Belt of Quickness (41% worn haste) did show it lowered backstab cooldown by several seconds (see my post on page 2). Spell haste appears to have consistently lowered the cooldown since at least May 18, 2013.

Back on page 2, I quoted four posts with evidence showing that both worn and spell haste lower backstab cooldown. Unfortunately, only one of them directly references Ragebringer, and it's at the beginning of Luclin era. Nilbog, what are your thoughts on these four posts I quoted on page 2 from Allakhazam?
