As you may have observed, pushing higher content requires more DPS but blizzard has not increased the cap on current DPS stats (eg +damage). Hence, how does one increase DPS further? 2 techniques:
1. Spell Haste
2. Armor Reduction.

We'll have a loot at armor reduction here.....

Armor Ignore Spreedsheet:

Archimonde: 6200

Black Temple:
High Warlord Naj'entus: 7700

Shade of Akama: 7700
Teron Gorefiend: 6200
Gurtogg Bloodboil: 7700
Reliquary of Souls:

Mother Shahraz: 6200
Illidari Council:
-Gathios the Shatterer: 6200
Illidan: 6200

Sunwell:
Brutallus: 7700

Notice that all but 2 of the bosses have either 6200 or 7700 armor. A similar pattern occurs in the trash mobs: 5475/5700/5950 or 6800/7100/7400 for level 70/71/72 mobs. In terms of percentage reduction, these values result in either 34.15% or 39.15% armor reduction vs attackers of the same level as the mob. You can test a mob's AC value using physical abilities which cause a static amount of damage such as Kick or Pummel.

from the elitistjerks-forums.

Abilities Which Reduce AC:

A properly stacked raid SHOULD make the most out of armor ignore and know which debuffs they are using in order to maximize physical damage. I highly recommend using 1 rogue with Improved Exposed Armor who rotates this ability in place of every other rupture in their rotation. Believe it or not, devastate with a fast weapon will still hit for just about the same amount of damage form this extra 450 armor ignore, despite it's damage being tied to stacks of sunder.

-Improved Exposed Armor: 3075 Armor Ignore- Better than sunder armor- does not stack with sunder armor.
-5 Stacks of Sunder Armor: 2600 Armore Ignore- Does not stack with Expose Armor and is worse.
-Curse of Recklessness Rank 5- 800 Armor Ignore.
-Faerie Fire Rank 5- 610 Armor Ignore.
Total From Raw Static Raw Abilities: 4485/ea-4010/sunder- This leaves you with 3215-3590 AC left on the heaviest armored bosses.
-Executioner:840 armor ignore on proc.
Total With Executioner+Raw Abilities: 5325-4850.

Finding Your Armor Ignore:
Take your raid Debuff total and add it to your gear's+procs armor ignore value then move along the X axis of the graph until you hit your value. Next, take whichever boss you want to compare your gains to and move your mouse along the Y axis untill you hit their value. Where the two points meet will be approximately your effective damage gain from your armor ignore value.

Spell haste is one of the lousiest damage stats for arcane mage and shadow priest (From what i heard).

It's super good for other caster class / spec
