So tell me fiends, come Lich King, what is going to be desirable for Lock gear? I've heard whispers of spirit or somesuch, but what does it mean!?

Also, do destruction locks like the same gear as mages?

Now what I am about to tell you is not 100% in what might be true at 80, but from testing and current builds this is what we are looking at right now.

Affliction will be wanting to stack in this order
Spell Dmg
Spell Haste
Spell Crit
Spell Hit


Destruction will be a little different
Spell Hit
Spell Haste
Spell Dmg
Spell Crit


Now this is all depending on current stats and allocations of what is needed, Also this ALL can change within the next beta patch or hitting 80 and new testing is given. Right now the highest DPS spec for Locks is Destruction (apperently Chaos Bolt got buffed big time) and affliction is close right after. All this is subject to change.
