slightly.. but yes. Also, forgot about the gem in your chest staying the same... should reforge your wand to haste instead of hit as well.
For your current level of gear, here is basically how those stats work out for you:
int - 1.0000
sp - 0.7769
Haste - 0.4485
Crit - 0.3628
Mastery - 0.3410
1 pt int - 2.87 dps
meaning, 1 point of mastery rating is worth .341 Intellect. So, for example.. in your helm, 20 int + 20 haste + 30 mastery = 39.2 (20 from int + 20* .4485 from haste + 30 * .341 from mastery). If you tossed a 40 int gem in there, it would be a straight 40, resulting in ~2.4 dps gain. Very minimal, not really worth changing in your helm. But still, it's there.
On a more important note, I just realized you had 4 pc.. dunno if you have fel flame added to your power auras, but that was what made me pick up the addon again. Well worth it to use fel flame when the buff is up
