edit: more minor changes

if I am missing something tell me and i will update the list, will also shift order as the consensus changes. might also condense some of the bigger ones to a top 10 or something

They will be nerfing the gloves from CoS eventually. They are insanely easy to get so get them any way while it lasts.

Gratuitous self bump so I don't have to find the thread when I update the links.

Yes, this is terrific. Rate up.

I missed something. This is pre-raid gear, right? Why are two of the rings using tokens from the 25-man raids? o_O;

Other than that, very good!

Anyone have any ideas how PvP will factor into this list? In particular I'm looking at helms right now. The blue PvP helm has a load more agility and stamina, but resilience (worthless!) and less AP than a PvE blue by a goodly amount. I think that would still make it one of the best items because stamina is so highly valued. Am I correct in thinking so?

Well added the rest of the PvP badge gear. Only the helm ends up as the best in slot. Some of the other were close.

Either way they are a decent set especially if you are going to PvP feral or have a gank fest on your server.

Enjoy.
