running around with bb in mh and taiaj as 2nd trinket, agility will still provide the melee crit bonus even with some 277 gear.
assuming int sims for 1.4 and arp sims for 1.6 ep, we would be at:
1.4*54 +1.6*46 => 149.2ep
assuming haste sims for 2.1:
73*2.1 => 153.3
these are just assumptions. ofc i know different gear, race and professions will make for different stat values. still, as you can see, it can be a close call between the normal mode leather bracers andthe heroic mail bracers, so i think it can indeed be the case that they´ll be BiS on hc mode.
and lol at the boots and trinket having Arp. big fail blizz.
