Normal Loshan upgraded 2x = 8700ish SP
Elite regail upgraded 2x = 8500ish SP (plus socket, if you go int 8660ish) - it will probably be better based on the fact that you could socket it with mastery and have ~300 mastery on the Loshan - but you'll have to sim that one I think
This is what I have for Trinkets post-upgrade. I took my values from WoWDB, and the stat weights are based off of the Affliction BiS sim. The methodology is the same as Brusalk's worksheet - stats * stat weight + proc stat * proc stat weight / proc uptime. The Alchemy trinket is the only trinket I left off of this list, because I can't find accurate values. I'll release my worksheet once I do find accurate values for that trinket.
Trinket Name Affliction BiS
Light of the Cosmos (510) 11,650.64
Light of the Cosmos (502) 10,813.64
Essence of Terror (517) 10,583.82
Light of the Cosmos (497) 10,323.04
Relic of Yu'lon (484) 9,942.57
Essence of Terror (509) 9,820.69
Light of the Cosmos (489) 9,579.32
Essence of Terror (504) 9,375.34
Relic of Yu'lon (476) 9,227.30
Light of the Cosmos (484) 9,144.20
Essence of Terror (496) 8,702.45
Light of the Cosmos (476) 8,484.88
Essence of Terror (491) 8,308.25
Essence of Terror (483) 7,712.21
Blossom of Pure Snow (497) 7,655.11
Blossom of Pure Snow (489) 6,723.83
Edit: since stat weights translate to DPS we can see that upgrading weapons is EASILY superior to upgrading trinkets.
With that said, and having the LFR Elegon wand, I'll probably upgrade my H Light of the Cosmos first.
I dont know if many people are doubting that weapon would be superior, however I have a feeling most people (like me) have been very unlucky with weapon drops. I'm using the heroic scarlet halls harmonic dagger (ilvl 463) and i think id rather upgrade my trinket or 2 pieces of normal Tier armor before i bother upgrading a blue item.
i have the elite regails (normal) and h elegon trinket.
i might try to token a jin this week and upgrade that, since it would be upgrading 2 slots at once, and the one offhand that drops seems so rare -- i am still using a 476 oh.
i think i'll do weapon -> h light of cosmos -> dmc (bis til end of progression, right?) -> whatever other bis items i acquire
If it makes you feel any better I finally upgraded my 476 offhand last night. Lasted long enough :X.
As for me, right now...gonna upgrade DMC trinket, hope a Loshan drops and I'll upgrade that - if not I'll wait til next week, upgrade other trinket and hope that Loshan drops and then upgrade that. RNG plx be nice to me.
What is this mysterious DMC trinket? Can't find any trinket or boss with DMC as its abbreviation. Is it the Darkmoon Faire trinket?
Yes, the darkmoon trinket.
I did my DMC and Alchemy Trinket. Since I still have a blue weapon, and the alch stone WAS really good before the buff it's a no brainer for me.
Nevermind!!! It does upgrade

I'm currently 486 ilvl and 3k Valor points. I have not any heroics ( bad luck ). My question is : should I reforge my darkmoon trinket ?
Merged your thread with the existing one.
Unless you have a good weapon the feeling seems to be that upgrading DMC is best, yes. You get a good chunk of static INT + the proc gets even better. It's better to upgrade your trinket then it is to do for instance a ring or a neck piece. It seems the thing goes Weapon>trinket>tier gear>rest
It really depends on your gear imo. I am going with my helmx2 first as it is the heroic version from Garalon and we dont get a helm until heroic sha of fear. I also dont have a decent wep so my trinks will be next unless things change for me.
Upgraded my Elite Regail's earlier today. Not sure if I should have upgraded my normal Jin'ya instead though >_>
Hmmm weapon if I get a loshan or an epic torch then BiS item one by one (starting with trinkets), I dont want to waste points on non-BiS items since we are looking at 24weeks of valor to upgrade everything.
