I'd just try different variations using FemaleDwarf and Wowhead (to search for possible gems). Try the two items with different gem combinations and see what you get.
I'd say go with the best dps.

From what i've read, Haste is pretty much at the bottom of the priority list for itemization purposes,
even though ArP isn't exactly great for SV either
(I'm SV Spec).
Don't walk blindly into that trap. Alot of people are flat out wrong on this one. Even after the nerf (and even as SV) ArP is still a really good stat and will often surpass Crit in value. The only thing clearly better is Agility.
The part about haste is completely accurate though.... it's awful. It actually ranks well below Int for me.
The good news here is that the second set of shoulders can be socketed for loads of Agility which could potentially offset the suckiness of the haste.
After running the numbers on my hunter (in an SV spec), I'm seeing like a 2 dps increase by switching. Probably not really worth the 450 gold you would spend regemming and enchanting them, but that's your call.

Trying to figure this out...
You pretty much hit on it down towards the bottom, but each item has an upside that just so happens to fit one spec alot better than the other. The Devourer's ArP clearly favors MM while the loads of Agility on the Shadow Hunter's are well suited for SV. Unfortunately the haste offsets a large portion of that bonus, but you can't always have everything, right?

One thing to keep in mind, haste tends to be a bit overvalued in the spreadsheet
Scary though eh?
It already yields less DPS than
Intellect
in the spreadsheet. Hard to imagine it being worth even less.
