By the time (gear-wise) you're actually socketing items with epic gems, this will mostly like be the best DPS gem in the game, for Mages and most Warlocks. For these classes at near-end game raiding levels, haste tends to eclipse spell damage point-for-point as the greatest raw DPS increase.

The offset is that haste doesn't increase DPM (damage-per-mana), so this gem represents a very reasonable compromise between the two, with slightly lower DPM than a 12 spell damage gem, but higher DPS.

As is the case with rogue gemming (5 agi 5 hit vs 10 hit), the 5/5 gems (or 6/5 in this case) tend to offer slightly more benefit than pure stat gems.

Does the spell damage on this gem contribute towards healing also, or is it straight spell damage only?

Given that most theorycrafters value spell haste as 1 spell damage = .90 spell haste, this gem is not better than runed crimson spinel. The difference between the 2 gems being 6 spell damage and 5 spell haste, a simple conversion shows that the 6 spell damage is equal to 5.4 spell haste, or that this gem in total is worth 11.55 spell damage. This is a very slight difference, but it is a difference. This means, given a 3 socket item, putting in 3 runed spinels is approx. 1.35 spell damage more valuable than 3 of these.

If, however, your socket bonus is +2 spell damage or higher for 3 yellow/red sockets filled, then these become slightly better in that piece. This is where reckless pyrestones shine, they easily fill yellow and red sockets, allowing the possibility of socket bonuses. Granted, red sockets should still be filled with runed spinels, but if you can get a spell damage bonus out of your socket bonus, then these should be in the yellow slots. Keep in mind though, that you should not worry about socket bonuses if they aren't feasibly better damage (ie. if you have a piece with 3 sockets and one is blue, cram them all with runed spinels. Alternatively, if your socket bonus is not damage or not enough to top cramming spinels in, then cram spinels in.) A good example here is the Boots of Incantations (new badge vendor boots.) They have 1 yellow socket and a socket bonus of 2 spell damage. A reckless pyrestone would be more dps than a runed spinel in that piece by approx 1.55 spell damage, but only because of the socket bonus. These are, however, better than Quick Lionseye, which converts to a value of 11.11 spell damage, where this converts to 11.55 spell damage.

That bit is dubious at best. First of all the value of spell haste is dependant on class and spec. Second of all, it is very dependant on your other stats; for shadowpriests, the consensus is that at 1400 spelldamage, spell haste equals spell damage point for point. With less spell damage, spell haste is worth less, with more spell damage it is worth more. Similar considerations will apply for other classes, though the specific numbers will be different.

So this type of gem is not an entry-level choice, but by the time you get to tier 6 content it will be a very powerful alternative to the good old runed crimson spinel / runed living ruby.

If the socket bonus on an item is worth it, such as +5 spell damage, and you have to match a single yellow socket in there, this would be a good option. Of course, socket bonuses differ, so you should take a look at them and decide if it's worth it to use this gem rather than a runed crimson spinel.

Following patch 3.0.2 and the merging of spellpower & +healing, this gem will become a very nice Yellow slot filler for all kinds of healers looking to balance out their stats.

From a Holy priest point of view:

As opposed to gemming with Purified Shadowsong Amethyst in Red / Blue sockets & Luminous Pyrestone / Quick Lionseye in Yellow (With the odd pure Spirit & Spellpower gems here and there), - I believe this gem will be the best choice for any yellow socket. Haste becomes very valuable once you stack it up to ~150 and above (in my experience). This gem combines haste with spelldamage, which seems pretty awesome to me - I am going to fill the next yellow socket I find with this gem myself.

I'd go as far as to say, if mana regen is not an issue for you, gemming Red sockets purely this would be comparable to gemming purely Purified Shadowsong Amethysts, allowing for a some playstyle personalization.

Of course, gemming for socket bonuses is only worth it if the bonus is actually good and outweights the use of less-than-optimal gems. If you sacrifice 6 +spellpower to get a +5 spellpower socket bonus, you are pretty much just hurting yourself - but it seems a lot of people are obsessed with socket bonuses so it's a fair point to make. Don't do it unless the item's total stats is -improved- through the socket bonus.

My opinion, anyway!
