There are 2 haste caps, one for the GCD and the other for casting/channeling times. I don't know the values for either but the GCD cannot go below 1 second and the casting/channeling times cannot go below .1 seconds. I know hitting the GCD cap is possible, but like I said, I don't know the value. I'm not sure it's even possible to stack enough haste to hit the other cap though.

I have a mage with 500 haste rating when using gear for Torment spec (about 15.25%). When I put my Arcane spec gear, it goes to around 550 haste, which is about 17%. The 50 points are roughly 1.75% haste difference.
I don't think that for FFB or Torment you need over, let's say, 400 haste, since you really need to put points into crit. As for Arcane spec, I think that anything over 17% is a real waste.

So, if my mage haste is 527 (16.07%) and I am arcane spec..means that I get 6% extra haste from Netherwind Presence..thus, my total haste is 22.07%.
Does that means I have way too much haste?
If max. haste is 17%, so, I only needed 11% (17-6)..11% haste would be around 360 haste rating..
Am I correct?
No. As mathron has posted on one of his threads, haste is multiplicative when i comes to Haste stat x Netherwind Presence x Party Haste buffs, so you actually have higher haste then 22.07%.
On top of that, the 17% soft cap is for items only.

For Frostbolt, there's literally a hardcap at 150% haste. At this point, your 2.5 second spells will be cast in 1 second, which means it matches perfectly with your GCD at this point.
That's if there really is no limit on haste.

Just to throw it out there, my consideration of a "soft cap" on haste for arcane would be the point at which Arcane Blast has a 1.5s cast time. Any lower than this and you would have to wait for the cooldown on Arcane Barrage when using the mana conservative ABx2-ABarr rotation. I don't think there's any danger of doing so though as I've had my haste as high as 611 and the cast time was still 1.72s
