Cloak EnchantsFollow

Ok, here's a small issue I've been having.

A few weeks ago I got the healing cloak off Prince, and immediately put +5 resistance on it. I've been using this cloak in Arena as well as PvE.

Here's my issue: For PvP, I think +15 shadow resistance would be a much better idea to put on a back than +5 all resistances. Sure, against teams without a warlock or spriest it would do virtually nothing, but is +5 resistance really doing all that much in the first place? On top of that, I can stack this with Shadow Resist Aura (+75 resistance I think?). Combine this with my B.E. racial, and I can have 95 Shadow Resistance, which isn't too bad.

Keep in mind, I could get the PvP cloak as soon as tomorrow if I really wanted to grind out AV today, and that would be the cloak I put +15 shadow resist on.

Would this be a viable thing to do? I can see no other helpful cloak enchants for a Paladin, except maybe 2% reduced threat in PvE, which for the cost of the mats, doesn't seem to be worth it AT ALL considering Paladin healing doesn't generate that much threat anyway.

What do you guys think?

+5 all Resists is pretty useless, but I suppose it's the "best" you go shoot for. Or rather +7 to all if you really want to.

But yeah, it's still useless. At 70, you need 70 Resistance to decrease 15% damage. So, basically for 7 Resist you get more or less 1.5% reduced damage to all magic spells. For 5 it's closer to 1%, just a tab above it.

Always nice, but, y'know. I personally don't intend to enchant my cloaks unless I really have the spare mats and have nothing to do with them.

Pallies already have the highest threat reduction so I'd definitely avoid that one.

Resist or Armor seems like the way to go, but since we're already plate-clad, go Resist.
