Gear Decision QFollow

Need a little help with a gear choice.

I just got http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45404. I had already swapped my Valorous chest for http://www.wowhead.com/?item=45259 and was still rockin' the 4 set bonus. Now if I swap in the new shoulders my stats still look pretty good. I lose about .5% crit and a couple spell but gain about 1.5% haste. My main concern is losing the set bonus though... If I swap in my Val chest I get the bonus back but lose more crit, spell, and mp5.

So I'm wondering just how big that +5% from the set bonus is. I have not done any personal testing yet.

Thanks for any input.

Here's my armory if it helps, http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Shu%27halo&n=Lebid

In 25 man Ulduar I'm always switching between gear sets. The 4 piece T7.5 bonus is good on Mimiron, Auriaya, Ignis, and Yogg if your not healing in the portals. So I'll keep chest, gloves, legs, and shoulders for those fights. Other bosses or if I'm healing in the portals on Yogg I'll put on my T8.5 chest, legs, and shoulders (on toss on the gloves from Maly) to give me more MP5, mana, and SP (I also duel spec a single target, higher SP resto spec).

If your not that hardcore or not running much in the way of 25 man Ulduar right now then go with whatever allows you to cast more heals and have them hit more. CH isn't used much at all in 10 man Ulduar, so much so that I don't even spec into imp CH when I'm running it.




And above all, make sure you look good :)
