Our 10m + Baddies + Trinkets!

So apparently one of our alt 10 man groups, which I went to on my Resto Druid, is more efficient and an overall better group than my normal 10m. It's pretty depressing, but I hope it's just because of the different heals. The alt run had a Resto Druid and Holy Pally, while my normal group has a Resto Shaman and Holy Priest. Oh well, whatever.

Blood Queen was stupid easy on 10m. We wasted attempts in 25m with people who probably need to go back to Naxx so they can learn how to watching their debuffs. It's really embarassing to see some of these people play in the same raids as the people who actually put forth some amount of measurable effort. I'll be dealing with that this week though, via gkicks.

I was lucky enough to have Keleseth's Seducer drop in 25m this week and the Marrowgar 10m cloak, so I'm lookin pretty set in gear for a good while. My biggest concern, dps-wise, are my trinkets.

Trinkets:
Whispering Fanged Skull (WFS)
Deathbringer's Will (DBW)
Tiny Abom in a Jar (TAJ)

First I'd like to note that since I have these great trinket options, I decided to hold off on buying the War Token trinket until I've obtained all the tier pieces I want.

So I've been looking over these trinkets and the deciding factor ends up being how they affect me and my crit cap. I'm going to list the different setups and the pros and cons of each.

1) TAJ + DBW
I originally assumed that this setup, remember that I'm ignoring HWT for the moment, was going to be the strongest. This may or may not be correct. When I realized that with full raid buffs and the Agility DBW proc, I was actually slightly over my own white Crit Cap (I think), I thought there might be a better option. As I said, this would put me at, or really close, to my WHITE crit cap. Agility and, even better, Crit will still affect my melee and spell specials until 100%. Still a strong combo for the Haste and AP procs, but the next might be a bit better.

TAJ + WFS
The static crit on WFS is generally viewed as more usefull than the static Arp on DBW. The Proc is also slightly more reliable on WFS. I'm currently sitting at a low amount of haste, so not having the Haste proc from DBW kinda sucks, but overall I feel like WFS is a better choice than DBW.

WFS + DBW
I don't see a way you can make this really work unless you have a crazy amount of hit or very little crit. That's not to say it's a bad choice, just not the optimal of the three.

  1. My vote is you give me your DBW and you use your Tiny Abom/WFS. :D

    No, really though, I'd be less concerned with crit capping on the agility proc and more concerned with it with the critical hit proc. 600 Agility is only 4.8 melee crit, while 600 Crit is 13.1 melee crit. Of course, the crit proc gives spell crit too, which is where it's strength may be.
