Ok finally got to the point that I have no greens in my armor/weapon set.
Next step is to start the arena/honor pieces.
I currently have like 1300ish Arena Points and 4k-5k honor

This is my current equip set. http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Smolderthorn&n=Vulk.
Please note that sometimes in situations where I am grinding in the world for rep or material drops I will replace PVP trinket with Bladesfist Broach and in the Arena I switch boots to The Masters Threads for increased stealthing.

So I need to begin turning the blues into purples. Is my honor best spent on S1 armor or other items not included in the armor sets like belts, wrists etc? Should I spend my arena points on S3 gear in a specific order or just go for upgrades. I understand that getting S3 pieces will take much longer than S1 but was unsure if I should buy an S1 shoulder if I know I am going to buy S3 shoulders later.

I know one of my biggest weaknesses is OH at the moment. Should I spend AP/HP on OH immediately or focus on armor first while trying to replace OH in instances (Latros or Warp Splinter thorn). MY arena team is currently called the Weekly 0 and 10 club if that tells you anything. So the AP generation will be much slower than the Honor.

Thanks in advance.
Oh and I forgot to mention incase you dont click armory link that I am Shs spec.

Upgrade your OH with either the S1 or S2 OH, then spend honor on Vindicator's gear and S1 armor. Save your arena points for S3 goodies.

Get the non-set epics first (Vindicators). After that, start working on S1 pieces. At the same time, keep in mind what you will buy with arena points next. I would say S1 shoulders are safe to buy first. S3 requires a 2000 rating iirc, so the shoulders will probably take you longest to get.

After that, just go by biggest upgrades. Hell even if you replace a S1 item in like a week, you only spent a few hours worth of bg time getting it.

You can find the difference in AEP between the rewards you want, and the gear you currently have equipped. Divide the difference by the number of honor/arena points it takes to acquire. The result with the highest value is the next piece of armor you should get.

The AEP system isn't perfect but it works well enough, imo.
