Haste versus critical strike in pvp

[Cadichona-dalaran]

Hi,
I don’t get it why critical strike is above haste in pvp, haste seems to produce more heal per second because it also reduces global cooldown and cooldown of holy shock, that is why haste is recommended in pve. The infusion of light do not seem to matter that much since in pvp we do not cast a lot. The only advantage of critical strike over haste is that it does not imply more mana consumption which is crucial in arenas .
Does someone know why guides like wowhead otr icy veins advise cc over haste ?

personal preferences of the writer maybe? i prefer to watch skillcapped guides on youtube over wowhead and icyveins, much more informative and don’t seem as rushed

becouse doubling your heals more often and getting more infusion procs are much better in this crap meta but it’s probably personal choose

Think about it this way…
Critical Strikes can save your teammate’s life in 1 ability or delete your opponent in a few abilities (1 for rogues lmao)… While for haste sure you will attack faster but there is still more room for them too kill your friend or you missing out on a kill.
