So int above all else isn't king anymore? My int is 1458 right now, still missing some gems, but isn't it more beneficial to go for more int?
On a second note, for enchantments, do I go for whichever is highest of my secondary stats? For example: do I go for pandaren's step or greater haste in boots?
This is what I'm currently at, if you could suggest anything to change, that would be great.
Checked on MrRobot, and it says to put all my red gems into haste and blue gems into haste + crit.
Also, should I leave the bracers and cloak enchanted for mastery and crit or go for 12 int on both?
Can't post links, but lookup Evlithruldur on Mazrigos EU.
Stop fretting so much over stats. Obviously they matter to a degree, but not so much to get into a panic over. Go with Not's suggestion and focus more on your play than whether or not you should swap 5% crit for haste.
So they change set bonuses but still no hotfix to Soul Fire?
1) New PTR versions are developed internally well before they're made public. How many times have the Devs commented about something, and then had to correct themselves that they're talking about something one or two builds ahead of the current PTR?
2) Flipping the two set bonuses is probably three minutes of work. With the Soul Fire bug they have to track down the cause of the bug, develop a fix, and package it into the next hotfix. One is a trivial task and the other is not. Besides, they don't have everyone dropping everything to all work on solving the same bug.
3) It's not a game breaking bug. It majorly upsets the usual Demo priority rotation, but I'm still doing competitive DPS for my gear/skill level, and honestly you always have to write off the month between patch and expansion launch as a crazy time where nothing really matters.
Picture the under-the-hood code of WoW as a machine. It's a very large and complex machine, with many interlocking parts and bits that perform multiple roles in different situations. It's not a machine that was designed and build in one go.
The original machine was created over 10 years ago. Since then it's been in a state of continual change where bits get yanked out, upgraded, or repurposed. Sometimes they build whole new sections, slap them on top, and hook them into the existing machine as best they can. There are kludges and jury rigs that have been used so long they're effectively core elements, but because of the accidental nature of their creation they're arranged in the clumsiest way possible. Many of the original builders have moved on, so there's no one who really knows where cable snaking off into the darkness goes and what will happen if you unplug it, or how the level marked Pull For Whistle actually works. Even small changes to any one bit can have unpredictable and far reaching effects, due to bits that no one knew were connected.
There was a time in Cataclysm when they tried to change it so that tanks wouldn't get vengeance from PvP damage. Somehow this caused the Ret Paladin's Seal of Truth to bug out ridiculously, such that they were doing 1,000,000 dps on raid encounters. How are those two things connected? I have no idea! But they obviously were, somehow.
At this point I'm never surprised by changes breaking things in unexpected and seemingly unrelated ways. Heck, this bug isn't even that unusual, it's just a simple "double application" problem. Well, obviously not that simple in operation, otherwise they'd have fixed it already. But conceptually it's simple.
I used Chaos Wave last week on the Oozes for Shamans and I got a huge Demonic Fury return. I talked to some more experienced Demo locks and apparently we have a Fury return mechanic if we deal killing blows while in Meta, just wondering how exactly that works?

100 fury per killing blow on targets that yield xp or honor.. A well timed Chaos wave on Shaman adds, Imm adds, Sha adds, Naz faithfuls, etc can be a nice DPS boost from all the free fury.
This along with Soul Consumption Glyph is a great combo for farming.
Awesome thanks for the info, it is pretty sweet if you can time it right
