Stats ExplainedIntellect

Critical Strike: Chance for attacks and heals to deal increased damage. Advanced Interactions
Normally, a Critical Strike deals twice as much damage as a normal hit would. For Elemental Shamans this is further increased by 50% by Elemental Fury, another 25% by Primordial Fury, another 50% with 2 points in Feedback Loop, 5% for Nature spells from Stormcaller and lastly Lava Burst, being a guaranteed crit, deals increased damage based on your crit chance. Racial bonuses like Might of the Mountain can further increase this.

Haste: Increases cast speed, reduces your Global Cooldown, and reduces the cooldown of most rotational abilities.

Mastery: Increases the chance of Mastery: Elemental Overload, to trigger an "Overload" on some spells and increases all Elemental and Physical (i.e. all) damage done.

Versatility: Increases damage and healing, while also reducing damage taken.

Critical Strike - Above 1380 rating

Haste - Above 1320 rating

Mastery - Above 1380 rating

Versatility - Above 1620 rating

Example
Let's assume you gain 1% Haste for 10 Haste Rating. When above the diminishing return breakpoint, 10 Haste Rating would give you 0.9% Haste instead, resulting in a 10% reduction from what you gained previously.

Can someone please explain to someone who has been playing ele shaman since 2004 why intellect is 5th on the stat priority for hero talents? Sent someone who wanted to learn ele to wowhead because I didn't have the time to give them a full in-depth guide, but it's reminding me of why I miss the EJ theorycrafting forums. We always upkept those, for every spec/build.
