gear questionFollow

I'm following what I like to call my pre-raid shopping list (aethien's guide) and i've got just one question. I've noticed on at least the pally forum which I also troll since I have a 70 prot pally, that the gear list usually goes from I don't want to say the least to best, but I guess the most minimal pre-heroic pre raid gear to of course top raid gear. Does aethiens follow that line? I ask because just looking at the http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?source=live;witem=28181 (earthwarden coif) and the http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=27888 (dream wing helm) and he has the earthwarden coif at the top of the helm list and the dream wing helm lower down. But looking at them, I do get more AP from dream wing as well as +hit, but lose some stamina and 2 jewel sockets. So does that make it better or worse?

Also might help to know that i've got both as a BM hunter and just can't decide which to keep and which to sell.

from what i can tell from the list it is just that a list of choices , perhaps the top ones are the best but who can tell for sure
non are that much better than others , and each has its own uses , i think it will depend on what stats you need or want to boost and of course which tree and what playstyle you have

out of the two i would prefer the earthwarden , my choice as you can add the gems you prefer, but i am no expert and i guess others will know more than i do about how the list works
