Okay This is Me
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/azuremyst/shelara/simple
I have been looking for a haste cap..... I have been focusing more on haste than crit. but stacking Int before Spirit too. I know i'm gear'd for some raiding at this moment but am trying to fine tune things before I really dive into it.
Thanks.

There is no haste "cap" at this point.

There is in fact two haste caps. The first is when your gcd reaches 1sec, it's 3489 rating under full raid buffs. Good luck reaching it though, and it only really matters to instant casts.
The second is your HR "tick cap", which TKitch mentions, which is "variable". Look up the Holy Radiance spell in the EJ post above. Haste affects the amount of ticks you get. There's a table showing you how much rating is your next tick under certain condidtions. Long story short, you're going to want to gear for either 773 or 1859 haste rating for normal raid conditions to give you the next tick.
The
GCD
cap is not a haste cap, it's the GCD cap. Directly related to haste it's nothing more than a milestone for haste, definitely not a cap.
There is no HR tick cap, he only did the table up to 24 ticks cause that requires 3558 haste with both hero and DF (which is unreachable at the moment).
Just like there is no haste cap, even if you have spells casting at 0.1 seconds you can still have more haste to make them go faster.

That's pretty much as liberal as the use of the term cap gets.
I know I've been away for some time but what have the world come to?
The word threshold would be way more fitting than cap. Every 10% of hit after the first 5% is a threshold that greatly diminishes hastes' value. While it returns to the same value, only slightly less, before the next 10% has passed.
Think of it like the blade of a saw, a curve going like so:
/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|
Only having the peak get a little bit lower each time.
GCD cap shouldn't even be discussed based on what TKitch said, HL and DL are longer than 1.5 seconds.
Probably only reason EJ brings it up is to avoid getting questions about the number and the availability.
