I'm having a hard time deciding which one of these 2 belts is better

http://wow.allakhazam.com/item.html?witem=33211

I think the Bladeangel is better....but i would like to see some opinions on the usefulness of Armor Penetration as a stat>> how much arm pen would u need for it to become effective.

I'm quite confused about both haste rating/armor penetration.Is there a value(like for hit rating)which should be achieved before these stats become effective?

Since i see alot of haste rating/armor penetration on bt/hyjal items i guess these items are the way to go while mantaining a decent hit rate(around 300 maybe).

If you got decent hit then definitely Bladeangel is better, just keep your hit rating above 250 min.

why 250 when the cap is 208? or did the expertise change that?

Are you sure the hit cap is 208? lol.. If I'm not wrong, it should be 360+ after the expertise stuff comes in.

I'm remembering all this from back when everyone (except me) was full combat <insert non-daggers here>. These builds normally included precision and weapon expertise. Those 2 talents closed the gap on the hit cap. I dont know, 208 is the last number I heard.

It was 308, and after 2.3 became 363, 208 is just your imagination. 250 is to make it balance and decent, you can make it 200, 220, 280, for whatever number you like.

Expertise changed with the recent patch.

The old hit cap was 308 not 208.

The new cap is 363.

Does 363 include Precision?

Bladeangel is better by a very large margin, on the order of around 15-25 dps

socket with a +8 hit rating gem
