Here's a quib from Elitist Jerks about what you should be looking for Stat wise before we start with 10/25 mans

QuoteSpell hit rating is the best stat you can get, by a large margin. All spell casts use a 2 roll system, which means they must hit before they can crit or partial resist. Additionally, only 26.23199272 hit rating is required to add 1% hit chance with spells. Because of this, spell hit rating is, point for point, almost 3 times better than spell crit rating. The base chance for any spell to resist, before talents, is 83% against a boss level mob (+3 levels). Any talent that describes itself as "reducing the opponents chance to resist" increases your chance to hit. Beyond that, gear can be used to improve your hit chance to a maximum of 100%. Once you reach the 100% hit mark, further hit rating is completely useless and you are considered "capped". With rare exceptions, gearing below the hit cap will almost assuredly result in a loss of potential dps.

The following is a list of all mage stats in order of effectiveness:

spell hit rating (to cap) > spell damage > spell crit rating > spell haste rating > spell penetration

Level 80 Combat Ratings and Stats
Spell Hit - 26.23199272
Spell Critical Strike - 45.90598679
Spell Haste - 32.78998947

Haste is now of questionable value because mana is much tighter than it was before 3.0. Every stat increases dpm except for spell haste.

Spell penetration is of almost no value at all, it's primarily a pvp stat. Spell crit rating tends to come prepackaged on a lot of gear, but is generally not a desirable stat because it takes a monstrous 45.90598679 points of it to give a 1% increase to crit rate.

There are a few talents that can help reach your spell hit cap

Boomkins have: [spell=33602]Improved Faerie Fire[/spell] or (can't have both) Sprists have: [spell=33193]Misery[/spell]

You can talent into: [spell=29440]Elemental Precision[/spell] or [spell=12840]Arcane Focus[/spell]

Draenei have [spell=6562]Heroic Presence[/spell]

Here's a quick break down:
17% - 445.94387624 Hit Cap
14% - 367.24789808 with [spell=29440]Elemental Precision[/spell] or [spell=12840]Arcane Focus[/spell]
11% - 288.55191992 with [spell=33602]Improved Faerie Fire[/spell] or [spell=33193]Misery[/spell]
10% - 262.3199272 with a draenai's [spell=6562]Heroic Presence[/spell]
7%* - 209.85594176 [spell=47610]FFB[/spell]
1% 26.23199272

*After the change from [spell=29440]Elemental Precision[/spell] to [spell=29440]Precision[/spell] FFB will no longer have the double dip for spell +hit.

 One note on the 100% hit cap.  I do not think it exists.  Pre wolk i had 214 hit  (12 over a warlock hit cap) and i regularly missed with some spells.  I actually missed more than i did when there was an inherent 1% chance to miss no matter how much spell hit you had.

Nixphire

I noticed that a lot too. I pvped a lot more, but I noticed I was missing a whole ton more. This is all theory crafted stuff right now. I'm sure those that do all the testing will find out if there are any bugs and let blizzard know if this can be over come or not.
