Well, would you say I fall under the first category? having 11/18 and 12/20 w/ 54% haste (Seahorse belt + PLunder patch)

Spell haste on this topic isn’t relevant. Worn has is relevant only insofar as comparing epic haste vs inferior tradable other slot haste.

11/18 and 12/20 are good ratios. Very good. I’d rate them better than woodsman by a long shot once levels climb into the upper 40s and into the 50s. A woodsman doesn’t exactly compete with swiftblade of Zek and exquisite velium. From a strictly ratio standpoint 11/18 is a lot better than earthcaller. 12/20 is nearly the same ratio as swiftwind (though 40% worn haste and +30atk make it heads and shoulders better). WS doesn’t compete at that level.
