Crit Rating vs Spirit for Affliction Warlocks

[navaron]

Hi there. I am an affliction warlock and im having hard time to determine what would be the best choice on some occasions as i cant be sure about the comparison between crit rating and spirit.

Especially, i cant decide which necklace and ring would be the best in slot because of that very reason.

Blood Queen's Crimson Choker
Heroic
Binds when picked up
Neck
+78 Stamina
+78 Intellect
+68 Spirit
Blue Socket
Socket Bonus: +5 Spell Power
Requires Level 80
Item Level 277
Equip: Improves haste rating by 60
Equip: Increases spell power by 110

or

Bone Sentinel's Amulet
Heroic
Binds when picked up
Neck
+78 Stamina
+78 Intellect
Blue Socket
Socket Bonus: +5 Spell Power
Item Level 277
Equip: Improves critical strike rating by 65

Likewise;

Memory of Malygos

+78 Stamina
+78 Intellect
+68 Spirit
Yellow Socket
Socket Bonus: +5 Spell Power

or

Ring of Rapid Ascent

What are the spirit and crit coefficients for a warlock? Which ones would be a better choice on that particular slots? Why?

Thanks.

Spirit and Crit are about equal for Affliction. The difference is so negligable that you'd get more dps from simply pressing keys faster than actually choosing one vs the other.

In this case:
Bone Sentinel's Amulet - SP and Haste cancel each other out on these options, but notice 68 spirit vs 65 crit rating. 3 more points for free.

Memory of Malygos - These two are itemized exactly the same, but a yellow socket means you can gem Reckless, which is more dps than Purified.

I see. Thanks a lot for satisfying reply. Hopefully Lord Marrowgar drops Bone Sentinel's Amulet this week for me

Remember any spirit gear will need replacing once 4.0 comes out. I've been building my "BiS" lists without any spirit gear (except for the ones I pickup for rDPS Demo offspec, obv) and my dps is fine. Additionally, if you're planning on going with the Ruby Sanctum bracers, you're going to want Valanar's Other Signet Ring to make up for the hit.

When it comes down to crit vs spirit for me, I usually take the spirit in case I need to go demo.
