So I main a Disc priest, Pawn sounds like its telling you the wrong stats. If you look up stat priority for Disc priests online right now Haste is #1 amongst the secondary stats..

Here are some of the reasons haste is so important:

Disc is a bit of a mana hog spec. Faster haste means quicker cooldowns on your tier 4 talents (except Mindbender, which doesn't reduce cooldown but increases the attack speed) This allows you to recover mana much more effectively.
Haste affects the cooldown time between almost all of your instant cast/channeled abilities and faster cast time on smite when / if you're able to use it as filler.
Haste gives you a faster cast on Shadow Mend (if you are relying on plea and atonement alone you aren't going to be an effective healer).

I'm not sure how Pawn is stacking your stats, but generally my preferred ranking goes:

1. Haste

2. Crit

3. Versatility (because the healing and damage double stacks for healing coming from atonement and it ups survivability a little too)

4. Mastery (because it only affects healing done through atonement and a lot of my healing comes from bubbles and shadow mend, which will be even more true in 7.2)

I completely concur with the previous message, mate ) Haste is #1, then crit and 3-4(not so important mastery and versatility)
