I've recently come back to my Holy Paly after a few months of alt-itis. I'm doing my best to reach the pre-kara benchmarks as shown in the sticky...wearing any ol' piece of junk which gave me the necessary stats. I've gotten my crit and mp/5 to the minimum unbuffed benchmark levels. But my +heal is still low.
I recently picked up a couple of the Crusader's Ornamented pieces since they were cheap upgrades to the +heal cloth I was wearing. They also have some spell crit which is a bonus.
My question:
I've been trying for http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=27790;source=live
But I see that http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=35404;source=live has the potential to provide more +heal if gemmed properly.
I know it's a PvP piece and offers no mp/5, but is it an acceptable alternative for the Mask of Penance if I make up the mp/5 elsewhere? I don't want to drop in an expensive +heal metagem if I really should be waiting for the Mask.
