How does the Crit/Haste build with 4P T20 compare to the new Judgment/Mastery 4P T20 build in terms of single target dps (assuming all set items are 985)?

If you are 985ilvl, then Haste/Mastery is the way to go, but keep in mind that you still need to have at least 25% haste/crit to do proper sustain dmg.

Also, do you think 4P T20 + 2P T21 with Belt/Ring can be better than 4P T21 with Cloak/Ring (assuming all set items are 985), and if so, would you still go for mastery over Crit/Haste?

Yes, with 985ilvl, 4P T20 + 2P T21 with Belt/Ring is better than 4P T21 with Cloak/Ring and as long as you have 2P T21 (even if you are not 985ilvl) you can go for Mastery as main stat. Keep in mind that Templar's Verdict is scalling very well with mastery this patch comparing with the previous one.

I reckon that the 4P bonus from T20 is better than 4P from T21 for two reasons: 1. Blade of Justice cooldown is lower than Judgment cooldown, and 2. Blade of Justice cooldown is often reset by the talent.

If you are 985ilvl, yes, you are right. As for rest with lower ilvl as me, 4P from T21 is better because of the stats, the ilvl differences are too big.

I do prefer cloak/ring because you basically play on another level trying to keep the cloak buff all the time and if you manage to do it right, you will see some nice outputs.

Perhaps a good addition to the guide would be "Best in slot gear", listed in two separate lists:

1. the ultimate best gear (985 gear), and
2. the best in slot gear obtainable in game via regular drops (with all gear dropping at their base ilvl, for proper comparison; NH items capped at 910; TOS items capped at 930; Antorus items capped at 960; dungeon drops capped at 940 or 960).

how is belf higher dps than human who has 2% crit /haste /mastery etc while belf has 1 % crit ?
is lightforged good enough to consider also ?
thanks for the guide

Because that 2% is not what u think ..it means 2% of that stat ,so if u have like 16.000 critical u get 2% more of that 16000 .
