How important is Haste for a Paladin leveling up?

[Alanus]

Leveling up on live, I didn't have a haste item until well after I reached 60 (max at the time). It's not a huge deal, and certainly helps, but your DPS is low anyway and it won't make a huge difference.

I never saw the appeal of FBSS since it had no other stats (and as a paladin, my DPS sucked anyway), and never had luck on any high-end haste item. I ended up winning a roll on an ebon mace which I traded for a RBG, which was nice.
