I have this problem in my guild with aret paladan's and BiS gear.
According to our leading ret pally in guild some leather pieces are BiS and he wishes to start rolling on these pieces. The guild leader however does not believe this and though he will allow him to roll if he has the dkp and wishes to roll I have some really bad feelings that people are going to think very negatively about him rolling on these pieces of gear.
The ret pally in question forwarded me to Elitist Jerks and their best in slot page. I don't like posting on their forums and I have faith that I might get a few clear responses to my inquiries on MMO Champion.
What I want to know is this, why are some pieces of leather good or better then some of the plate gear that is available from hard modes. And yes I know the gear from heroic ICC mode aren't available yet, he wishes to roll on the old BiS gear from ToGC, the link of which I no longer have.
