Are Weapon Power Gems Any Good?

A good gem to consider equipping

Weapon Power is a great gem that can be used in a wide array of situations. Weapon Power cannot be equipped by everyone, and is also outclassed by S tier gems, but when the need to use them arises, its worth shows itself.

Does Weapon Power affect the percentage of Haste or Double Attack and other similar gems? Or does it only affect gems that have a "chance" of activation?
