Moonkin DPS/GearFollow

I have a question regarding that topic. I was away from wow for about 3 to 4 months. That lead me to fall way behind the dps curve on my guild. From top 5 I went to barely over the tanks on dps, doing around 5 to 6k. My current build/gear is linked on my signature.
The question is, with the gear im wearing right now, would be a good idea to change some pieces with EoT gear? Tonight I`ll get the new tier glove and will be changing gear acordingly, but that will take quite some time for me. So, if EoT gear (head and shoulder) would give me some plus on dps, I would like to know.
I saw the current gear rank on Graylo blog, but it seens, to me, that he is ignoring the bonuses on old tier gear.

ps. I wont get any malfurion item cause my guild still charge for that and Im saving EP/GP (not dkp) to get the weapon from ICC 25.

Yeah, Arex, the problem is, as I said, I dont want to spend EP/GP on those since I want to be able to get the drops from ICC, specially the MH.
I really want to drop that 130hit staff, since I have some better gear with hit on them but I cant use cause the staff has that much hit...The other option I have right now is the MH from ToC5 and OH from Ulduar (cant remember the name, im not home right now to check it out, but its like a chalice or something)
I was thinking if the EoT head/shoulder would add some dps compared to T8 itens while I cant get the T10 itens... T9 is out of the equation, unless I can get in a 10 man ToC group to get the tokens (or whatever the name of that thing is), wich seens unlikely due to my time constraint right now...

Actually the T9 that you get with only badges is ilvl 232. The upgraded trophy versions are the 245. Grind out the badges. You'll want the 4-piece set bonus until you have to break it for T10 or a combination of other ICC level gear.

Wait, there are EoT-only T9? Thats new for me. I thought I needed the trophy from either 25 or 10 man. Ok, I guess I'm pretty stupid, then. Where's the guy that sells that t9 EoT only? I'm going to buy it tonight!

Well, you guys could not have been more helpfull. And here I thought I was a smart guy....humpf....

Yep, thanks for the help, peeps. Got the T9 Shoulder and Chest, T10 Glove and the friendly-rep-ring. My dps went up quite a bit and I`m only 2 bits below of the hit cap.

I see your point and I actually debate it with myself sometimes. But....

I only have it cause I dont really care for trash pulls, so IMO Gale Winds is kinda useless. I dont see me using in any boss fight (at least, the ones I did so far). I guess I could get Typhoon and work it on my rotation, but I saw it somewhere that it would be a marginally increase in dps. Since I live in Brasil and have to play with 300~500ms constant lag, I thought that introducing a instant cast spell in my rotation that have a marginally dps increase would actually turn into a 0 increase or, even, a dps loss.

As you said, I really don`t have any mana issues. At all. But I think I would be change nothing for 0, so I let it there and I sell all my mana pots and give my Innervate to any healer that dies and get rezzed back. That`s all.

Edit for a question: The other day I got a MH from H-PoS. Surgeon`s Needle. The way I see it, it`s a healer MH and my secondary spec is really really glad I got it. But, it has quite a bit more of SP if compared to my current dps MH Spectral Kris. I did some checkings and, if I trade one for another, I get more SP (duh) but I would get below the Haste soft-cap. I could gem for it and get back up, but I dont know if it would be adviseable. What you guys think?

I agree. Definitely take the Needle. Even when below soft cap, SP is slightly better than haste I believe. Also, there's a ton of boomkin gear with haste already on it so you shouldn't have a problem finding something to get the haste up when you score some upgrades. Even without the mana regen talents, you should find that you can end a boss fight with plenty of mana and also be able to save your innervate for healers.

Didnt noticed their dps, but I would think their dps while tanking should be around 3 to 4k. But that`s me just guessing here.
What I meant before is I was only above them, so, last on dps. Though I was above some other peeps on Damage Done.

Thanks about the Needle answer. I will give more thought on it. Its just that I feel bad equipping a dagger that has mp5 on it as dpser...urgh.

Seconded Arex... as someone said in a post I can't seem to find now in a forum I don't remember (I'm useless.../sigh)

"Hell I don't care if it's a big pink staff with a ginormous purle heart at the top with bubbly hearts floating out of it and a Hello Kitty on the bottom.... if it's a DPS upgrade I'll take it"

Although that weapon would have to be pretty freakin sweet for me to want to parade around Dalaran looking like... I dont' know what, just really really really wierd.

Not sure as I haven't seen your gear, but just an FYI, the T10 pants have the same stat types as the T9 pants, just more of them. If you've got a bunch of minor things with hit, I'd try and get the hit loaded pants and get hitless upgrades to replace the others.

Helm > Leg in t9.

When 2t9 2t8 was the way to go, I used to run with my t8 legs because the stat difference wasnt that noticeable.

No, not really at all. Focus on t9 and t10 gear.
