Hey all..
I aint normally so torn on making gear choices as I am over this. I am currently playing as main spec arms for the 25man raids to bring the bleeds/trauma for the other dps in the group. Previously to this I used to play Fury and have came back after a few months break from raiding. Anyway..
Basically last Tuesday I got hold of Shadows Edge (with some help from guild mates, thank you if you read this!). Now last night we killed Marrowgar on heroic 25 as normal and he dropped the 277ilvl Bryntroll. I am currently on trial anyway due to taking a extended break so I didn't bother really pursuing the item, so it ended up going as offspec to the tank. Since this though I have had a few people asking why I didn't go for it. And that's where it gets difficult due to the stat balances.
I am by not geared amazingly at the moment by far (still rely on Grim Toll to ArP cap for example) but I am doing ok(ish).
Is the 277 Bryntroll a upgrade over Shad's Edge is my basic question. (I also had the normal version of bryntroll and its proc used to be 4-5% of fight damage, I am assuming the HC version is the same?)
NOTE this is the HEROIC Bryntroll, NOT the Normal version!

Opinions on it? I am sure I won't be the only person with this query with heroic kills being more common place.
