Sorry if that came across as rude, was only answering the question. Also there's only 1 group in the US which is competing at the moment (correct me if I'm wrong) so "high ranking us times" could mean anything from getting server best FoS's to just doing the golds and getting decent times, point being maybe they have yet to play with a good monk tank as of yet.
well when I say top us times Im talking about the top 10-20 of their respective classes. I havent checked in a while Im sure I dropped to top 40 us or something for my class but I havent been wanting to compete just get people ran for many monies. And yes I have yet to run with a decent monk or a healer that dosent complain about them.
For those looking for a decent alternative to the engineer head, the one from heroic scenarios, and probably from the timeless island, is really really good, you only lose 1 haste and 1 crit (or hit, depending on which tinker you prefer).
Gz on your world 1st TJS btw Maeb
Oh yeah I didnt see it was a blue socket. So in the end you lose 80int for a 160hit gain, still decent imho.
don't get how engi head can be worse then any other heads btw, I thought the cogwheels couldn't scale down?
Here is a comparative of all of these (as a priest, with int>crit>haste prio):

Hope this help.
This should end pretty close to:
head: deadly retinal armor (mastery-hit)
neck: quadra head brooch (agi)
shoulders: T16 (agi x2)
cloak: legendary (agi)
chest: T16 (agi x3
wrist: beady-eye bracers (mastery and agi/mastery gem)
gloves: T16 (agi x2)
belt: gorge stalker belt (agi x3)
legs: conduit breaker chain leggings (agi x3)
boots: dreadrunner sabatons (agi x2) or the ra'den ones (agi/mast & agi/hit), that's pretty much the same
ring1: swift serpent signet (agi/mast)
ring2: kilruk band of ascendancy (agi)
trinket1: alchemist stone
trinket2: relic of xuen
weapon: hand of the dark animus x2 (agi x2 in each)
This is a very strict agi-focused list, I don't really know how scaling works with this kind of shamans (even less at 463 ilvl), I just ran a straight agi > hit = exp > mastery > haste > crit

Is wearing your average lfr/flex gear that big of a difference than wearing the given CM BiS list to achieve gold, or is it another 'every bit counts'?
A friend and I have been wanting to get Gold (or silver for me at the very least since I'm not fond of the xmog classes that I play for CM but I digress) but I'm not sure how much I should commit to get gold other than Invis potions, talent/glyph, class composition consideration and basic reforging.
Heroic blues / Timeless gear / PvP gear (loads of sockets) is all good enough as long as it's 463 or higher. The more sockets the better, I wouldn't worry too much about them though, unless you're on an alt you're not completely comfortable with, where they can be a nice way to compensate.
What trinkets would you recommend for a Disc priest? I have Vision of the Predator already and I'm farming for Light of the Cosmos. Are those two BiS (aside from Relic of Yu'lon which I'm not interested in buying) or should I farm other raids and dungeons as well?
Vision of the Predator is not really that good because of the long CD. I would say go Light of the cosmos and the valor haste trinket.
If you decide to buy Relic it's up to you if you want to go with the valor one or cosmos they are both pretty good, I personally prefer the valor one and Relic.
Well, got Light of the Cosmos lol. I have BiS (according to the spreadsheet in the OP) or close to BiS in some slots. Chest and gloves are the only real 'holes' in my gear at the moment.

(Glove enchant would be switched for mastery in CMs, Thok just refuses to drop his gloves for my CM set)
Ye, I updated the spreadsheet now and put Relic & Valor trinket as bis for now and cosmos as optional.
Also, in the interest of easier alternatives, here's bracers. I know the bracers listed are BiS but you're fighting RNG twice in order to get the proper itemization.

So basically if you don't have the Crit or Haste version of the Frostborn Wristwraps you should just go buy the Tranquility Bindings and upgrade them.
why would you(Glove enchant would be switched for mastery in CMs,
