I'm considering going back to a 43/0/18 build for raiding. My thinking is that I require far less crit in this spec (can get away with 18/20%) and can therefore have a lot more + damage.
I can't link to armoury from work but current stats are: 202 hit, 25% crit and 1026 +damage. If I were to go 43/0/18 I could get the 2 +damage trinkets from badges adding 88 damage. I could also swop my off-hand and neck to the pure plus shadow damage ones for a further 42 + damage. This would put me at ~1150 +shadow. I would also end up taking Malediction in this spec as I have no need for Suppression or IHoT.
p.s. Was in my Leotheras tanking gear yesterday and hit 13.5k health, 146 hit, 781 damage and 310 FR. Is that good enough?
