Enough global recharge to run an attack chain I like is usually enough. Some characters might need more to perma a specific power like Dull Pain or PA.

I'm a global recharge junkie, so I try to cram in as much as I can without gimping my builds. There's never enough! 
But what DSorrow said is wise though. Getting enough global recharge to run a seamless attack chain (or to perma a particular power) is a sensible goal.

For my Plant/Psi/Fire dominator?
...191%
That extra 1% made all the difference.
Yes! Yes it is!
When I have all I need to run my gapless ST attack chain that I'm happy with, and haven't killed my defenses, then it's enough!

Bah, DPS freaks.
It's enough when your long-recharge uber crowd control power is up for each spawn.
It's nice having those 15 minute accolade powers available every 6 minutes. The 30 minute Vet Rewards available every 10 minutes. Etc...

This is the one of two big things that really sets my DM/SR apart from my DM/SD: 192.5% global recharge with 1900 hp - *perma Soul Drain* (both have capped DDR)

Answering that one, as many good answers have already been given for the main question, I doubt you could notice the difference even if you looked for it, unless you have a minimal gap (say, ~0.2s) in your attack chain that would be resolved with the additional 7.5%.
| Is 67.5% before Hasten markedly better than 60% or would I barely notice? |

It's probably 122.5% before hasten, which is about what my Warshade runs. At that point, hasten is permanent, so you add 70%.

Is 122.5% the exact point at which Hasten becomes perma?

I think 110% should be enough (90% + Quickness), assuming you've got 95% recharge slotting in Hasten.

It's about 107% rchg for perma hasten with 3 rchg IOs in Hasten. Or about that amount of rchg with 2 IOs in Hasten and spiritual alpha slot.|

as an aside, my dom runs 128.8% rchg for perma domination without hasten (hasten is also perma)
I have my lvl 50 /SR scrapper up to 60% global recharge via Quickness and I/O's, and nearly have perma-Hasten (again...oh how I miss the days) on top of that. I'm using the END / RES Incarnate to compensate for an overall focus on damage and def in my slotting (and lots of toggles) vs the RECH incarnate.
I already have a pretty tight build, but if I switched some sets around I cound squeeze another 7.5% with a few weeks of effort to acquire the pieces and without giving up any set bonuses I couldn't live without.
So...that got me to wondering...how much is enough? Is 67.5% before Hasten markedly better than 60% or would I barely notice?
Granted, builds vary, but in the abstract sense do people have any philosophical perspectives on how much RECHARGE is enough?
