I picked up Collar of the Aldor this weekend in Kara, which I will be using to replace my Spellstrike Hood. The problem is that I can't seem to find a comparable upgrade for Spellstrike Pants that doesn't require me going to Gruul's Lair or beyond, which I currently don't have access to. I have found a few options on the armory, but none of them are especially impressive. I have listed those below in the hopes that everyone will vote for which they believe is best for raiding. Thanks in advance.

Imo the spellstrike is much better then the T4 set. Also the crafted items (frozen shadoweave/Spellfire) are much better then T4 for mages imo.

I for one passed on the helmet. Have u ever checked out the sucky set bonus that T4 gives for mages? A chanche to not get interrupted while firering FB FB...uhuh when u get hit in a raid, you wont get interrupted, you will die. So no use for uninterrupted casting.

Then the set bonus of the spellstrike is much better, cause it procs a lot.
I wouldn't give up on those for T4's. The time i'll replace my crafted epics is the day T5 starts to drop

For overall damage the spellstrike head+legs are better than T4, especially after being gemmed. I only use the T4 helm/pants when I absolutely will be getting beat on while grinding (like grinding elementals and stuff). For the most part though, wearing Spellstrike headpiece+pants are far better, especially for the chance on hit proc that gives even more damage.
