Honestly I'm just being a whiny lazy babby. It would take me just a few days to 160 emblems if I just did it, instead of complaining about it. I could easily have it done in a weekend of doing LFD randoms.
Cheers for the advice re: the struggling shaman. The guy seems to have fixed his dps problem and was pulling some pretty high numbers tonight. He also won a few +hit items so he can get rid of almost all the hit gems he was carrying.
So, the wife is playing an enhancement shaman, and is like 5 bars from level 79. I was thinking of picking up the Swiftarrow set for her to get her ready to run heroics with me. Is it worth the ~1500 gold to get it from the AH? I realize it's a PVP set, but it seems pretty good, and I started heroics in the Savage Saronite set.

Are you tanking? or maybe healing? Most people laughably outgear heroics these days, so carrying a DPS isn't a big deal. If you're tanking you can keep the occasional jerk from booting her for "ur geer is bad lol". I wouldn't bother unless 1500g is something that's easy to spend.
And even then, look into the ToC craftable epics. Crusader orbs are way cheap these days.
I haven't been enhance for a little bit now, but as far as I understand once you are hit and exp capped it is haste haste haste.
Don't be afraid to toss in 2 or 3 expertise gems to cap it either if you can't get it from gear since its sort of lacking unless you get lucky with drops, the dps gained from not getting dodged will be worth it.
Ugh, yeah I know at T9 level, for some reason the gear is extremely lacking on +hit and +exp. Rawr basically just gems me out with hit, exp and hit/exp gems to try to get me close to my caps. No room for extra haste at my level of gear.
Almost made me wish I was an orc for a bit when I was dual-wielding Nighttimes. Though now I have two Black Icicles so it's a moot point I suppose.
I know you only asked about stacking haste gems but I noticed a couple other things on your armory.
Think about changing your meta to the +agi and crit damage one so you only have to use 1 blue gem.
You're missing a helm enchant? (maybe armory is bugged?)
I would urge you to get Tuskarr's Vitality on your boots.
Missing gems on a lot of your stuff too.
You're not spell hit capped. (well only with the raid hit buffs, spriest/moonkin? Hit is a pretty attractive stat when you stack haste for the white hits making more maelstrom procs)
Last thing is your totem slot. Should think about getting either the frost or triumph elemental totem, specially since you're already stacking haste.
So I uhhh... just realised that Flametounge gives me spellpower to my weapon. I just dinged 30.
Whooooops. Anything else I am missing? Just got the Flametoungue totem or whatever, my spellpower has doubled!
Also, Beertide, great name or greatest name? He is becoming a Dwarf come Cata.

Did they say they were going to allow race changes to the new combinations come Cata? I remember them saying they wouldn't allow you to re-race a NE druid into a Worgen and whatnot.

They said they might not immediately allow it, but in a month or two.
Also, I just tried specing resto. Totally unnecessary for healing at level 37. I was doing just fine as Ele, and doing moar dps then most of my groups. That and without a lot of crit im not getting much mana back. God I want chain heal! I just got a new healing stream so now its ticking for like 40 health. Pretty op!

Troll totems are the best but I'm hoping Goblin totems will be like, gangly sticks with huge batteries and an oversize colored lightbulb.
It would be so awesome.

The orc totem is alright. It's a cool way to make the Horde emblem a totem, but I don't know if it's very orcish. I dunno, I just wonder what other ideas there were.
The troll totem design is fucking sweet.
And no doubt the goblin ones are going to battery-loaded techno monstrosities. In a good way.
If it were like 5 bucks, I would def go from Dranei to Dorf
Here's how I would look at the pricing on race changes: if you can get your dwarf shaman to the same place as your draenei shaman within two months' time (rough estimate of the $25 vs. monthly fee), the race change isn't worth it. Do it manually by making a new character.

Sure was fun back when My dps was searing totem, lightning shield and autoattack!
LoL: failboattootoot
Ha ha ha no.

Yonder shaman for reference
Although to me I always like spellpower or AP over any kind of ratings, but that's my inner caster speaking.

I just hope when brewfest rolls around, we can get some kind of Tankard weapon. Enhancement dwarf wielding two tankards is gonna be awesome.
