Quick Item QuestionFollow

Greetings Warrior forum. I've been helping my gf recently get her toon's stuff organized and get rid of some things she doesn't need anymore, and we discovered she still has a tier 7.5 leg token in her bags >.>

Now, I'm not too big on the numbers for Warriors, so I was hoping you could help me (us) decide what she should do with this token. Currently she is wearing Legplates of Double Strikes and has 2/5 Dreadnaught. Her stats are: 4184 AP, 353 hit, 34.42% crit, 62 haste, 121 ArmPen, 17 expertise.

Valorous Dreadnaught Legplates would raise her strength by 1, crit by 21, and expertise rating by 66, while lowering her ArmPen by 78. MaxDPS says that the Double Strikes is superior in DPS, but given her current stats, would it be better for her to get the Valorous and increase her expertise? If I remember correctly it's 26 for dodge cap? Meaning she's not quite there yet.

Or, are the Double Strikes still superior, regardless of her current stats? If they are, I was going to suggest to her that she get the tanking pants instead.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have :)

Well, thanks for someone finally replying :D I just have to ask, is expertise really that much better than ArmPen for Fury Warriors? The weight scale (not sure if these are just your numbers or generally accepted numbers) shows expertise at 100, but ArmPen only at 33. And the score given in that link is HEAVILY in favor of the tier legs, while MaxDPS shows a 6 point favor to the Double Strikes.

I don't mean to sound like I'm disputing the numbers here, cause I really don't know much about Warriors, but asking for future reference, so we can make item decisions in the future without making a dedicated post for it :) I'll go ahead and advise her to get the DPS legs though and then we'll run some tests t osee just how much her DPS increases/decreases.

Again, thank you, and any other info on the subject will be helpful :)

I will have her hang on to both pieces. Again, my thanks :)
