Which enchant do all you mages prefer for Kara and beyond raiding? My current spell hit rating is 75 with 1008 damage in arcane/fire. Is it worth it to have my gloves re-enchanted from Major Spellpower (+20 spell damage) to Spell Strike (+15 hit rating). Forums say spell hit rating is more important, but is the difference of 15 worth losing 20 spell damage? Thank you for all your advice.

It's a lot easier to make up for 20 spell damage then it is to make up 15 spell hit. You will want to get to about 120 spell hit to be extremely affective in raiding past Kara. Me personally I prefer spell hit cause there is nothing worse to my eyes then sending a fireball out that does no damage. Being that you are in kara you probably don't see this much but on gruul's and mag's you start saying aloud WTF are my fireballs going.

You want to shoot around 141 spell hit rating if your specced fire and frost. 164 is the cap, so 141 should be fine. Unless you spec arcane which your hit rating needs to be around 80.

So first work on getting your hit rating hp and then spell damage.

I went with spellstrike, as I can get more gear that has spellhit alraedy built into it I will replace it will major spell power. The important thing is to hit cap (or very close to it) of 164 (assuming you have elemental precision).

I use all +damage enchants on my gear. I have changed my spec so much that I am not sure what I'll need most at some times, so I gem my gear appropriately and then just pour on the +damage in the enchants. For example, when arcane, you don't need nearly so much +hit, so putting that on glove would not be a good idea. If you will only ever play a single spec, then that's different, but I have too much fun with the various aspects of magery that I tend to respec at least once a month. ;-) (also, testing the new stuff like LC + MSD for arcane and the like).
