Thanks for the reply, beardown.
I'm convinced with your point about Imp Poisons, which might be a bit overkill. Good news, I've got 5 free points now :)
As for Imp KS, the idea is to be able to burst and for this Imp KS would certainly help. Frankly, I've frequently brought a guy to a few percents of life but could not kill him with my current ShS build. In those situations, an extra 10 % dam would probably have done the job.
More generally speaking, here's my problem: I have a rather good access to pvp gear. Currently have S3/S1 with S2 bel, boots, bracers. By the time season 4 is out, I'll have like 75k honor and 3k arena points, so I should be mostly S3/S4. This means that I've got plenty of resi (396 now, would go up when I upgrade my gear) but low damages:

10.4 life unbuffed
396 resi
around 1500 AP
around 30% crit
Basically, I'm not really a glass canon, I'm pretty tough but feel like I'm hitting people with a wet noodle.
It seems that, to improve the situation, I should equip more high-end PVE gear to increase my AP (at least to around 1800 I guess?). My problem is that I don't really have access to PVE gear cause I can't play enough to raid. My only solution is thus to get the sunwell stuff which is reasonably easy to get.
If I had great PVE stuff, I could bring down my resi to 300 and deal better damage. Since I don't, a solution would be to just change build and go for Muti which does better damage. It offers less survivability, for sure, but I'm nearly never targetted (my priests dies before me 95% of the fights, really).
It's important for me to decide soon if I'll go Muti or stay ShS, because it'll determine what weapons I get (and 150 badges isn't exactly easy to get either, so I don't want to waste them). Maybe just equipping the 103 fist weapons and 1-2 other sunwell pieces of equipment would improve my damage as ShS and make it viable, I don't know.
Finally, I see your point about Imp Gouge. But won't wound poison break gouge???(I'm pretty sure it reduces healing by 10% AND has a small nature DOT).
