Today Blizzard Europe posted about a change to some of the weapons in both normal and heroic difficulties for the Lich King encounter.

I know there have been a lot of negative comments on the itemization of the weapons -- especially considering it's the final encounter of the expansion -- so what are your thoughts on the changes?

After reviewing several items available from the Lich King encounter, we've decided to re-optimise certain weapons that didn't meet with our expectations and the quality that the Lich King expects. The weapons listed below, both their Normal and Heroic versions, will now better represent their respective roles and present more intriguing options to players.

• Royal Scepter of Terenas II (Heroic version): MP5 replaced with Haste rating
  
• Archus, Greatstaff of Antonidas (Heroic version): Critical Strike replaced with Haste rating
  
• Heaven’s Fall, Kryss of a Thousand Lies (Heroic version): Armor Penetration replaced with Haste rating
  
• Stormfury, Black Blade of the Betrayer (Heroic version): Armor Penetration replaced with expertise rating
  
• Fal’inrush, Defender of Quel’thalas (Heroic version): Haste rating replaced with Armor Penetration

The crit probably could have stayed on the staff.

I wonder what stat Blizzard is trying to get our attention at.

I think it rhymes with paste.

I think it's more "what stat was the playerbase telling the devs to get more of". They don't need to make Haste more attractive (for casters), it's pretty much our primary stat after spell power.
